Questions and answers
I have an old defiant woodstove. The damper handle does not open damper. Has become disconnected somewhere! How to I access the damper rod that controls the damper?
The context does not provide direct instructions for accessing the damper rod on a Vermont Castings Defiant IAI woodstove. However, it mentions that the left damper pin of the damper goes through the hole above the Side Loading Door opening when installing the Left End Plate. This suggests that removing the Left End Plate may provide access to the damper mechanism. Additionally, ensuring the damper opens and closes smoothly may require grinding the recess in the Upper Fireback.
