Page 18: Turning Down The Air Supply
Eastwood 1800 Installation and Operation Manual 5.3.5 Turning Down the Air Supply Once the firewood, firebox and chimney are hot, you can begin to reduce the air supply for a steady burn. As you reduce the air supply to the fire, two important things happen. First, the firing rate slows down to spread the heat energy in the fuel over a longer period of time. -
