Surface Thermometer is a Valuable Guide to Operation
An optional surface thermometer tells you when to adjust
the air control, and when to refuel. (Figure 2.8)
Figure 2.8-Taketemperaturereadingswithathermometerlocated
in the middle of the griddle.
For example, when the thermometer registers at least
450°F(230°C)onthestovetopafterstart-upyouknowthe
stove is hot enough and it may be time to close the damper
ifasu󰀩cientemberbedhasalsobeenestablished.Note
that the stove will warm up much sooner than the chimney,
though;awarmchimneyisthekeytoeasy,e󰀨ectivestove
operation.Whenthermometerreadingsdropbelow350°F.
(175°C)it’stimetoadjusttheaircontrolforahigherburn
rateortoreloadthestove.Atemperaturereadingover650°F
(340°C)whenthedamperisclosedisasigntoreducethe
air supply to slow the burn rate.
Usethefollowingtemperaturerangesasaguide:
• Readingsinthe350°-500°F.(175°-260°C)rangeindicate
low to medium heat output.
• 500°-600°F. (260°-315°C) readings indicate medium
heat output.
• Readingsof600°-650°F.(315-340°C)indicatehighheat
output. Operating your Intrepid FlexBurn® continuously
atgriddletemperatureshigherthan650°F(340°C)may
damagethecastironorenamelnish.
Use the Air Control Settings that Work Best for You
No single air control setting will t every situation. Each
installation will di󰀨er depending on the quality of the fuel,
theamountofheatdesired,andhowlongyouwishthere
to burn; outdoor air temperature and pressure also a󰀨ect
draft.
The control setting also depends on your particular
installation’s “draft,” or the force that moves air from the
stove up through the chimney. Draft is a󰀨ected by such
things as the length, type, and location of the chimney, local
geography, nearby obstructions, and other factors.
Toomuchdraft maycauseexcessivetemperatures inthe
IntrepidFlexBurn®,andcouldevendamagethestove.On
theotherhand,toolittledraftcancausebackpu󰀩ngintothe
roomand/orthe“plugging”ofthechimney.
Howdoyouknowifyourdraftisexcessivelyhighorlow?
Symptoms of too much draft include an uncontrollable
burn or a glowing-red stove part. Signs of weak draft are
smokeleakingintotheroomthroughthestoveorchimney
connector joints or low heat output.
Insomenewerhomesthatarewell-insulatedandweather-
tight, poor draft may result from an insu󰀩cient air supply
inthehouse.Insuchinstances,anopenwindownearthe
stove on the windward side of the house can provide the
combustion air supply needed.
Another option for getting more combustion air to the stove
is to duct air directly from outside to the stove. In some
areas provisions for outside combustion air are required in
all new construction.
When rst using the stove, keep track of the air control
settings.Youwillquicklyndthataspecicsettingwillgive
youaxed amountofheat.It maytakeaweek ortwoto
determine the amount of heat and the length of burn you
shouldexpectfromvarioussettings.
Most installations do not require a large amount of
combustion air, especially if adequate draft is available.
Donotforanyreasonattempttoincreasetheringofyour
heater by altering the air control adjustment range outlined
in these directions.
