Figure 10.1 - Burn Rate Air Control
H. Burn Rate Air Control
•
The air supply enters at the upper front of the fi rebox,
near the top of the glass door.
•
This preheated air supplies the necessary fresh oxygen
to mix with the unburned gases, helping to create sec-
ond, third and fourth combustions
• This air is regulated by the Burn Rate Air Control.
•
There are four settings High, Medium-High, Medium-Low
and Low.
•
When the control is raised all the way up it is on the High
setting and when pushed all the down it is on the Low
setting.

•
After loading the appliance with wood and starting the

by following the burn rate instructions below.
2. High Burn Rate - Maximum Heat* - 30,000+ BTU/hr
• Raise the Burn Rate Air Control all the way up until it
stops (top marker) to a fully open position.
• Be sure and monitor the fi re closely while in this setting to
avoid overfi ring your stove.
3. Medium-High Burn Rate*
-
15,000 to 30,000 BTU/hr
•
Raise the Burn Rate Air Control to the Medium High
marker.
Blower may remain on.
4. Medium-Low Burn Rate* - 10,000 to 15,000 BTU/hr
• Raise the Burn Rate Air Control to the Medium marker.
Leave the blower off until the burn is well established,
i.e., 30 minutes.
5. Low Burn Rate* - Below 10,000 BTU/hr
• Leave the Burn Rate Air Control at the bottom marker.
Leave the blower off until the burn is well established,
i.e., 30 minutes.
