Buck Stove Model 74ZC (ZC74) Zero Clearance Wood Burning Fireplace
The ZC74 is the Model 74 firebox built into a zero-clearance cabinet, so it frames directly into a wall in new construction or a remodel instead of needing an existing masonry fireplace. It carries the Model 74's ratings: 1,500-2,600 square feet, an EPA tested output of 13,300-52,400 BTUs per hour, a 2.15 cubic foot firebox and 73% HHV efficiency, with the blower included.
The door is available in black (FP ZC74), gold (FP ZC74G) or pewter (FP ZC74P).
Built by Buck Stove in Spruce Pine, North Carolina. Buck Stove has made stoves in the USA since 1975.

Questions buyers ask
What is the difference between the 74 and the 74ZC?
Same firebox and the same 1,500-2,600 square foot rating. The 74ZC comes in a zero-clearance cabinet that is framed into a wall and ships with its blower; the Model 74 is a freestanding stove or masonry insert with an optional blower.
What rough opening does it need?
Buck's 51ZC cabinet manual lists a 37-1/2" W x 34-3/4" H rough opening with a 26" deep cabinet, plus a hearth extension of at least 16" in front. Confirm against the cabinet manual before framing.
Does it need its own circuit?
Yes. Buck specifies a 15 A dedicated circuit for the blower.
