While not required, operating your stove with the catalytic

combustor installed creates optimum conditions for

secondarycombustionandwillincreaseyoure󰀩ciencyup

to15%onlowburn,makingsureyougetthemostheatout

of each load of wood.

The catalytic element is a ceramic “honeycomb” coated

with the catalytic material. The element sits at the bottom

of the secondary combustion chamber. Smoke, gases

and particulates that are not fully combusted during the

secondary combustion process pass through the catalyst,

creatingatertiaryburn.Thisresultsinhighere󰀩ciencyand

lower emissions.

Thecatalystwillinitiatecombustionofsmokeandparticulates

at500°-600°F(260°-315°C),halfthetemperaturenormally

requiredforunaidedsecondarycombustion.Ifyoufollowed

the startup operation steps in the previous section the stove

willbesu󰀩cientlyhottoallowthecombustortowork.Once

the combustor starts working, heat generated by burning

thesmokewillkeepitworking.

To determine whether the combustor is operating, refer to

the temperature probe which shows the operating range

of the catalytic combustor.This is located on the back of

the stove and is viewed from the top. NOTE: It will take

several minutes after closing the bypass damper for the

temperatureprobetofullyadjusttothenewtemperature.If

the probe indicator is below the operate catalyst range when

the bypass damper is closed, add fuel or open the bypass

dampertoallowtheretofurtherbuildbeforeengagingthe

catalyst again.

Ifthe probeindicatorisabovetheoperatecatalystrange,

the catalytic combustor is running too hot and may be

damaged.In many cases, decreasing the primaryair can

reduce the catalyst temperature and adding less wood with

each loading can also help if overheating is persistent. Do

not add wood to the stove if the probe reads above the

operate catalyst range.

Avoidusingafullloadofverydrywoodintherebox,such

asdryslabwoodorwoodwithbelow14%moisturecontent.

This may result in continuous very high temperatures in the

secondary combustion area and damage the combustor.

Neverburntreatedwood,garbage,solventsortrash.Allof

these may poison the catalyst and prevent it from operating

properly. Never burn cardboard or loose paper except for

kindlingpurposes.Neverburncoal;doingsocanproduce

soot or large akes of char or y ash that can coat the

combustor and cause smoke to spill into the room. Coal

smokecanalsopoisonthecatalystsothatitwon’toperate

properly.

C. Ways to Add Fuel

TheIntrepidFlexBurn’sgriddleliftsforconvenienttop-loading

of logs, and is the easiest way to add fuel. (Figure 2.5)

However, the front doors open as well for adding an

occasionallogtothere.TheIntrepidFlexBurn®WoodStove

is not approved for operation with the front doors open.

Intrepid

Figure 2.5-Toploadingisthebestwaytoaddfuelduringregular

use.Frontloadingisusefulforkindlingare.

To open the front doors, insert the handle into the door latch

stubandturnitclockwise.(Figure2.6)

To close them, always close the left door rst. Turn the

handle in the right door to the left and up (to the open

position) and close it. Finally, push on the door as you turn

thehandlecounterclockwise.Thedoorswilldrawinslightly,

andthehandleshouldo󰀨ersomeresistanceasyouturnit

to the closed position.

Toreducetheriskofbreakingtheglass,avoidstrikingthe

glass or slamming the doors.

When you are not using the door handle, store it in the

holder behind the right front leg of the stove.
