The chimney should have no cracks, loose mortar, other signs of deterioration, or blockage. Repair any defects before using the chimney with your stove. Seal any unused openings in an existing masonry chim- ney with masonry to the thickness of the chimney wall, and repair the chimney liner.

    Clean the Griddle Before Use At the factory we coat the griddle with vegetable oil to prevent rusting while the stove is in transit and storage. Remove the oil with a dry rag or paper towel before you use the stove. Set Up the Stove Remove the griddle, front grate bar, the bottom grate, the side bricks, and the ash pan from inside the stove.

  • Page 16: Draft Management

    Vermont Castings Intrepid Multi-Fuel A stove is part of a system, which includes the chimney, the operator, the fuel, and the home. The other parts of the system will affect how well the stove works. When there is a good match between all the parts, the system works well. Wood stove operation depends on natural (unforced) draft.
  • Page 17 - so use whatever combination of installation features and operational steps will encourage good draft and minimize creosote production. Because letting the smoke cool off and slow down is one of the keys to creosote production, it makes sense to line a chimney to match the stove’s outlet size, for safety reasons as well as performance.

    Vermont Castings Intrepid Multi-Fuel Let the fire in the stove go out and allow the stove to cool completely before beginning any maintenance procedure. Care of the Cast Iron Surface An occasional dusting with a dry rag will keep the painted cast iron of your Intrepid looking new.

Be sure to follow the standard safety procedure for working with dusty materials: Wear safety goggles and a dust mask. The procedure for replacing the gaskets is the same, regardless of the gasket location.
  • Page 21 The Chimney System Creosote Your Intrepid Multi-fuel is designed to reduce creosote buildup significantly. However, regular chimney inspec- tion and maintenance must still be performed. For safety, good stove performance, and to protect your chimney and chimney connector, inspect the chimney and chimney connector on a regular schedule.
