In order to connect Propane, use a ﬁtting with 3/8” NPT nipple on the valve side and 1/2” propane gas supply line with an input of 28,000 BTUs at a manifold pressure of 10.0” and minimum inlet supply for adjust- ment of 11.0” w.c.

Air Shutter Adjustment

The Dutchwest is shipped from the factory with the air shutter adjusted to the minimum allowed opening. Refer to Table 1. Based on the altitude where the stove is located, a shutter adjustment is acceptable to provide a mixed balance of ﬂame color/glow. To adjust the shutter opening, follow the steps below.

NOTE: The air shutter may only be adjusted to a more open position. The factory setting is the minimum allow- able air shutter opening. (Figs. 38 & 39)

Vermont Casting's 2465 and 2466 stoves are renowned in the world of wood-burning appliances, celebrated for their blend of traditional craftsmanship, modern technology, and efficient features. These stoves bring warmth and aesthetic appeal to any home while providing an eco-friendly heating solution.

The Vermont Casting 2465 model stands out with its classic styling and robust construction, made from high-quality cast iron. Its design not only provides durability but also enhances heat retention, allowing for longer-lasting warmth in your space. Featuring a large viewing window, the 2465 allows you to enjoy the mesmerizing flames while also providing ample heat output, making it a focal point of any room.

Similarly, the Vermont Casting 2466 shares many characteristics with its counterpart but introduces slightly elevated features. One of the notable features of the 2466 is its increased heating capacity, suitable for larger homes or open-concept living spaces. Both models are equipped with a user-friendly air control system that optimizes airflow and combustion, ensuring that wood burns more efficiently and cleanly. This results in minimal smoke emissions and contributes to a lower environmental impact.

One of the standout technologies in both the 2465 and 2466 is the patented “Dual Air Control” system. This innovative design allows homeowners to easily adjust the airflow for more efficient burning, regardless of the type of wood used, enhancing combustion efficiency. Users can start with a higher airflow for a quick fire start and then throttle back once the wood is burning well, ensuring an effective and adjustable burn rate.

Additionally, both models come with an integrated ash pan located at the bottom, designed to simplify maintenance by making ash removal quick and easy. The stoves also feature a built-in heat shield that helps to increase the heating efficiency of the stove while reducing the clearance needed for safe installation.
