The Buck Stove Model 21NC Fireplace Insert is a compact yet powerful heating solution designed to transform an existing masonry or prefabricated fireplace into an efficient zone-heating system. Built with Buck Stove’s trusted American craftsmanship, this non-catalytic wood-burning insert delivers reliable warmth, user-friendly operation, and durable construction, making it an excellent choice for small to medium-sized living spaces.
At the heart of the Model 21NC is a 1.6 cubic-foot firebox, engineered to provide consistent burn performance while maximizing fuel efficiency. The insert accommodates logs up to 18 inches when loaded east-to-west, allowing for flexible loading and extended burn cycles. This design provides homeowners with efficient wood consumption and steady heat output during cold weather.
Designed for dependable heating performance, the Model 21NC delivers up to 41,200 BTUs of heating power and can effectively warm areas ranging from approximately 800 to 1,800 square feet. With an EPA-tested range of roughly 11,079 to 28,901 BTUs, this insert provides ample heating for smaller spaces. Efficiency is a key feature of the Model 21NC. With an overall efficiency rating of up to 70%, the non-catalytic combustion system simplifies operation and maintenance while still delivering clean, reliable performance. For improved heat circulation, the Model 21NC comes standard with a factory-installed blower, which helps distribute warmth evenly throughout the room.
To provide a seamless, finished appearance when installed into a fireplace, the insert is available with either the standard or oversize flashing surround. Choose the standard flashing for fireplaces that are smaller than 39.75" wide by 29" tall. Choose the oversized flashing for fireplaces less than 45.75" wide by 32" tall.
Overall, the Buck Stove Model 21NC Fireplace Insert offers dependable heat performance, efficient wood-burning technology, and flexible installation options, making it a practical and attractive upgrade for homeowners seeking to enhance both comfort and efficiency in their living space.
