Air Controls

The Dutchwest Convection Heater has two air controls that regulate the amount of air drawn into the stove. Generally, more air entering the stove allows the ﬁre to burn hotter and faster, while less air decreases heat output while prolonging the overall burn time.

The Primary Air control lever is located at the lower front edge of the left side (looking from the front of the stove). (Fig. 21) The lever operates the two air inlet shutters which are on the front of the stove. Opening the inlet shutters provides air for primary combustion.

To open the shutters, turn the lever counterclockwise. The shutters are all the way open when the lever points toward the front at a ”4:30” position. (Fig. 22) To close the shutters, turn the lever clockwise. The shutters are fully closed when the lever points straight down. (Fig. 23)

The secondary air inlet, over the side door, admits air to the catalytic combustor only, for high efﬁciency at high combustor temperatures. Use a gloved hand or the metal tip of the door handle to adjust this inlet. Opening or closing this inlet will not strengthen the ﬁre; generally this inlet should be about one turn open for low ﬁres, and 1¹⁄₂ to 2 turns for medium and high ﬁres.
