The Sequoia Controls

Air Controls

The Sequoia has three air controls that regulate the amount of air drawn into the stove. Generally, more air entering the stove makes the fire burn hotter and faster, while less air prolongs the burn.

The Primary Air Control is the lever located on the upper right side of the stove front and is the primary source of air for starting and maintaining wood fires. It is always closed when burning coal. It opens when moved clockwise and closes when moved counter- clockwise.

The stove damper must be open when starting a fire, when reloading fuel (for a short time only), and when the side or front doors of the stove are opened for any reason. It may also be left open when burning coal whenever maximum heat is needed.

Load Doors

The Side Loading Door allows the easiest loading of wood logs.

When the Sequoia is equipped with an 8” (200mm) flue collar, the Front Door may be utilized as well for loading coal or for adding an occasional log to wood fires. Also, the front door may be opened wide and an optional spark screen, Part No. 0135, placed in the

opening for safe, fireplace-style viewing when burning wood. The front door must remain closed at all times when the 6” (150mm) flue collar is used.

With either flue size, the fire may still be viewed through the large ceramic viewing window when the front door is closed.

A Probe Thermometer Port Provides

Access to Internal Temperatures

Insert the Probe Thermometer into the access port (see directions on Page 16) as a valuable guide that will tell you when to open and close the stove damper, when to increase or decrease the air supply, whether or not the stove’s catalytic combustor is working properly when you are burning wood, and when to add fuel.

Fig. 18 All stove controls are conveniently accessible and easy to regulate.

The Combustor Air Control is located on the left side of the stove, above the side loading door, and delivers preheated air to a strategic internal site to aid catalytic combustion when burning wood. This control is closed completely when burning coal. Turn counterclockwise to open and clockwise to close.

The Coal-only Air Control is positioned on the access door to the ash drawer compartment. It is the air supply for starting and maintaining coal fires. This control must be closed completely when burning wood. As with the combustor air control, turn counterclockwise to open and clockwise to close.

Damper Function

The Damper is operated by moving the small, square knob on the left side of the stove. It has two positions: open, to start or revive the fire; and closed for greatest efficiency and heat. Using the multipurpose door handle, rotate the damper knob counterclockwise to open the damper and clockwise to close it.
