Section 3 - Maintenance
NOTE: Be aware that the hotter the fire, the less
creosote is deposited, so weekly cleaning may be
necessary in mild weather, even though monthly
cleaning may be enough in coldest months.
3-10. Combustion Air Outlets
Primary combustion air enters the firebox through
the combustion air outlets located on the sides and in
the front and back corners (Fig. 54). It is essential to
the operation of the outdoor furnace that these outlets
remain unobstructed. Clean the combustion air outlets
before they become plugged. The corner sections can be
removed for cleaning by sliding them up. The side air
channels can be removed for cleaning by removing the
acorn nuts. Make sure to thoroughly remove all ash and
deposits from behind the corner and side air channels.
