Cleaning the Combustor
1. Check the combustors honeycomb-like catalyst for a
buildup of y ash. If any is evident, take the catalyst
outside and clean it by blowing air gently through it. Do
notpushanythingthroughthehoneycomb;thecombustor
should be cleaned by forcing air through the combustor
toremoveyashusingavacuumorcanofcompressed
air.
2.Inspectthecatalystfordamageordegradation.Although
small hairline cracks will not a󰀨ect performance, the
cataylist should be essentially intact. If the cataylist is
broken in pieces or has sections missing, it should be
removedorreplaced.CallyourlocalVermontCastings
Authorized Dealer for a replacement cataylist.
3.Ifthecataylistisingoodconditionandclean,re-installit
in the stove and replace the refractory access door.
Also, consider any changes in your operating routine.
Onceyouhaveruledoutanyotherpossible causes for a
decline in performance, inspect and clean the combustor if
necessary.Besuretoprotectanysurfaceyouuseforsetting
the stove parts aside.

NOTE
Burning“green”(insu󰀩cientlyseasoned)woodwillresult
in poorer performance than burning properly seasoned
fuel.Reloadingwithgreenwoodcanalsothermalshock
thecatalyst,resultingincracking,ortheeventualfallout,
ofthe ceramichoneycombsubstrate.Youmayhaveto
run your stove hotter (more air) to achieve acceptable
performance using green or wet wood.
When to Suspect a Combustor Problem
ThebestwaytoevaluatetheperformanceofyourIntrepid
FlexBurn’scombustor is to observe the amount of smoke
leavingthechimney—bothwhenthecombustorhas“lighted-
o󰀨”andwhenithasnot.Followthesesteps:
• Witharegoingandthecombustorproperlyactivatedand
thedamperclosedtoroutesmokethroughitasdescribed
in the Operation Section, go outside and observe the
smokeleavingthechimney.
• Then,openthestovedamperandonceagaincheckthe
smokeleavingthechimney.
You should see signicantly more smoke when the stove
damper is open and exhaust does not pass through the
combustor.However,becarefulnottoconfusesmokewith
steamfromwetwood.Steamdissipatesintheairquickly;
smokedoes not. Remember that a hot stovewith a 2”-3”
established coal bed is required for catalytic combustion to
occur.
Ifthistestindicatesaproblem,considerotherpossiblefactors
as well, such as the weather or a change in the quality of
yourfuel.Inwarmweather,draftisweakerthanitisincolder
winterweather,andrescanburnsluggishly.Small,hotres
are a good solution under these conditions.
