Defiant Woodburning Stove

A Damper Directs Air Flow
Within the Stove
The damper handle on the left side of the stove oper-
ates the damper to direct air flow within the stove.
The damper is
open when the handle points to the
rear , 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.

Two Ways to Add Fuel
The Defiant’s griddle lifts for convenient top-loading of
logs, and is the easiest way to add fuel. (Fig. 23)

A Single Air Control Regulates
Heat Output and Burn Time
The primary air control lever , 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 output level. (Fig. 21)
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.
The Defiant’s air control system includes an automatic
thermostat to ensure an even heat output at whatever
manual setting you select. The thermostat senses the
heating and cooling of the stove surface and adjusts
the air valve accordingly.
The damper is closed when the handle points forward.
Smoke travels through the catalytic combustion system
where it can be further burned, before passing up the
chimney. (Fig. 22)
The damper is either fully open or fully closed.
There are no intermediate positions. When closing
the damper, be sure to pull firmly enough to snap
the handle into the locked position.
In addition, however, the front doors open for adding an
occasional log to a fire.
The Defiant is not approved
in Europe for operation with the front doors open.
To open the front doors, insert the handle into the door
latch stub and turn it to the left and up. (Fig. 24)
