New Buck Corporation Heater Model 80 Benutzerhandbuch

 

 
This section of the manual is to help you get maximum efficiency and maximum smoke (particulate) reduction 
from your Model 80 heater. If you should experience any difficulty or have questions concerning your heater, 
contact your Model 80 dealer for assistance.  
 
Manufacturer’s recommendation for peak performance and long catalyst life is to burn seasoned hardwood (wood 
dried 6-12 months) and place wood from front to back position in the heater. 
 
Build a fire for maximum efficiency. Model 80 burns wood and extracts heat so efficiently a large fire is not 
necessary. A large fire not only wastes energy, it usually results in the home being too warm for comfort. The 
following steps will serve as a guide for operating your stove.

The Main Audubon Society recently charted the heat produced by a wood fire. They noted that the heat produced 
by a wood fire varies greatly with the kind of wood burned. Beech is considered the best wood for a fire. A cord of 
well-seasoned  Beech will produce as much heat as 169 gallons of fuel oil;  Sugar Maple and Red Oak produce as 
much heat as 166 gallons of fuel oil; followed by White Ash 154; American Elm 130; White Birch 124; and White 
Pine 94.
