The Encore Multi-Fuel Controls

Two controls regulate the performance of the Encore: a primary air control supplies oxygen for the fire, and a damper directs air flow within the stove or directly up the vent.

Symbols cast into the stove are reminders of the correct directions for opening and closing the controls.

A Single Air Control Regulates

Heat Output and Burn Time

The primary air control lever, located on the right side of the stove, controls the amount of incoming air for starting, maintaining, and reviving a fire.

More air entering the stove makes the fire burn hotter and faster, while less air prolongs the burn at a lower heat level. High and low settings appear in Figure 19.

For the greatest air supply and maximum heat output (but the shortest burn time), move the lever toward the front of the stove. For a fire that will last longer with less heat, move the lever toward the rear of the stove.

A Damper Directs Air Flow

Within the Stove

The damper handle on the left side of the stove opens and closes the damper to direct air flow within the stove.

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

Fig. 19 The handle may be positioned anywhere between the two extremes for different heat levels.

The damper is closed when the handle points forward. Exhaust gases are directed around the rear baffle be- fore passing up the chimney.

When closing the damper, be sure to pull firmly enough to snap it into the locked position.
