The  opens and closes the damper to
direct air ow within the stove, and is next to, and to the
right of, the primary air control lever on the right side of
the stove. (Fig. 34)
When the handle points to the oor, the damper is
open, letting smoke pass directly into the chimney. The
damper  be open when starting or reviving a re,
and whenever the griddle or doors are opened.
When the handle points to the front, the damper is
closed. Smoke from the re travels through the catalytic
combustion system where it can burn further for greater
efciency, before passing up the chimney.
The damper has no intermediate positions. Figure 28
shows the handle’s open and closed positions.

Your stove has andirons to keep logs away from the
glass panels. The andirons are important to maintain
clear reviewing and should be removed only while
reloading through the front doors.
Wear heavy stove gloves when removing the andirons,
and place them on a noncombustible surface until you
replace them in the stove. Most stove owners will prefer
the convenience of top loading through the griddle, and
will leave the andirons in place permanently.

The Intrepid II’s griddle lifts for convenient top-loading
of logs, and is the easiest way of regularly adding fuel.
However, the front doors open as well for adding an oc-
casional log to a re. (Fig. 36)
You can open (or even remove) the front doors and
place the optional Intrepid II spark screen in the front
opening for open-re viewing.

The glass panels in the doors have a heat-reective
coating on the outside surface. Heat reected back to
the inside of the glass helps keep the inner surface at
a higher temperature than the outside. In combination
with pre-heated primary combustion air ‘washing’ over
the inside of the glass, this helps provide clear re-
viewing at most operating levels.
