Buck Stove Model 81C Catalytic Wood Stove / Insert – Medium Bay Front – 81C

Buck Stove Model 81C overview

The Buck Stove Model 81C (FP 81C) is a medium bay-front catalytic wood heater that can be set up as a freestanding stove or slid into a masonry fireplace as an insert. The bay front, with windows on the angled sides as well as the door, shows more of the fire than a flat-front stove of the same size.

The "C" means catalytic: a combustor is standard, which helps the 81C hold long, steady, low burns from a load of wood. A blower assembly is also standard, so it moves heat into the room rather than just radiating from the stove body.

Key features

• Medium bay front with door and side bay windows
• Front-loading catalytic wood heater
• Catalytic combustor and blower assembly standard
• Works freestanding or as a fireplace insert
• Optional pedestal, legs, shields, trim kits and offset adapter

Specifications

Venting & installation

Freestanding, connect 6" stove pipe to a 6" UL 103 HT Class A chimney such as DuraVent DuraTech, or to a masonry chimney with a 6" stainless liner tee kit and insulation wrap. As an insert, run a full-height 6" stainless liner insert kit with insulation wrap. See the venting recommendation on this page; it should be installed per the manufacturer's installation manual and local codes by a qualified installer.

What to order with it

For a stove install, choose legs or a pedestal and add DuraVent chimney and pipe. For an insert, add a 6" liner kit by chimney height, the liner insulation wrap and a trim kit.
