3.2.6 Primary Air
There is no flue damper in the ENERZONE SOLUTION 2.5ZC. As in common with air tight
stoves, the combustion air control sets the flow of air entering the firebox. This allows for a
more precise control of the fire. The combustion air control is located below the door on the
right side. The main source of air (primary air) entering the firebox can be diminished by
moving the air combustion control from right to left. The primary air is fully opened when the
air control is completely moved to the right. The combustion air control should be in the
closed position (primary air) when the fireplace is not in use. This will minimize air leakage
up the chimney. The combustion air control should be opened before opening the door to
minimize the possibility of back draft coming into the room.

Accelerated Combustion
The maximum heat output for the ENERZONE SOLUTION 2.5ZC is achieved by burning
with the door closed and the combustion air opened. By this method, the ENERZONE
SOLUTION 2.5ZC can produce up to 75,000 BTU of heat per hour. However, it will be
necessary to reload with wood every one or two hours. This is the least efficient method of
burning the ENERZONE SOLUTION 2.5ZC. Use caution when firing with the combustion
air control wide open. Only burn cordwood in this manner. Small dry pieces of softwood and
construction scraps will burn very intensely using this method and may damage the firebox.
