Attach the Griddle Handle

Install the handle on the griddle. Place the griddle upside 

down at the edge of a flat surface and assemble the handle 

as shown. (Fig. 17) 

With the handle pointing 45° from its final position, tighten 

the nut as far as possible with pliers. Move the handle to 

its final position while still holding the nut with the pliers. 

Take care not to overtighten, as tab may snap.

Operation

Your Intrepid II’s Controls and     

What They Do

The stove has two controls to regulate performance: a 

primary air control 

supplies oxygen for the fire, and a 

damper

 directs air flow within the stove to activate and 

deactivate the catalytic combustor. 
Additional air for catalytic combustion is regulated automati-

cally, and does not require operator control. 
Symbols cast into the stove are reminders of the correct 

directions for opening and closing the controls. In these 

directions, ‘left’ and ‘right’ assume that you are facing the 

front of the stove.

A Single Air Control Regulates the 

Amount  of  Heat  the  Fire  Will  Produce  and            

How Long it Will Burn

The 

primary air control lever

, located at the right rear 

corner 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.
For the greatest air supply and maximum heat output (but 

the shortest burn time), move the lever to the left. For a 

fire that will last longer with less heat, move the lever to 

the right. You can set the lever anywhere in between the 

left and right extremes. (Fig. 19)
The Intrepid II features an automatic thermostat to ensure an 

even heat output at any setting you select. The thermostat 

senses the heating and cooling of the stove surface and 

adjusts the air shutter accordingly.
