A Damper Directs Air Flow

Within the Stove

The damper handle opens and closes the damper to direct air flow within the stove, and is next to, and to the right of, the primary air control lever on the right side of the stove. (Fig. 20)

When the handle points to the floor, the damper is open, letting smoke pass directly into the chimney. The damper must be open when starting or reviving a fire, and whenever the griddle or doors are opened.

When the handle points to the front, the damper is closed. Smoke from the fire travels through the catalytic combustion system where it can burn further for greater efficiency, before passing up the chimney.

The damper has no intermediate positions. Figure 28 shows the handle’s open and closed positions.

When closing the damper, push firmly and snap it into the locked position to ensure that the stove remains in the catalytic mode.

Glass Door Panels

The glass panels in the doors have a heat-reflective coating on the outside surface. Heat reflected back to the inside of the glass helps keep the inner surface at a higher temperature than the outside. In combination with pre-heated primary combustion air ‘washing’ over the inside of the glass, this helps provide clear fire- viewing at most operating levels.

Andirons

Your stove has andirons to keep logs away from the glass panels. The andirons are important to maintain clear fireviewing and should be removed only while reloading through the front doors.

Wear heavy stove gloves when removing the andirons, and place them on a noncombustible surface until you replace them in the stove. Most stove owners will prefer the convenience of top loading through the griddle, and will leave the andirons in place permanently.

Two Ways to Add Fuel

The Intrepid II’s griddle lifts for convenient top-loading of logs, and is the easiest way of regularly adding fuel. However, the front doors open as well for adding an oc- casional log to a fire. (Fig. 22)

You can open (or even remove) the front doors and place the optional Intrepid II spark screen in the front opening for open-fire viewing.
