Defiant 1610 Non-Catalytic Woodburning Stove
30002850
The Defiant Controls
Two controls regulate the performance of the Defiant: a
primary air control supplies oxygen for the fire, and a
damper directs air flow within the stove to activate and
deactivate the catalytic combustor. (Fig. 27)
Symbols cast into the stove are reminders of the correct
directions for using the controls. The words ‘Left’ and
‘right’ in these directions are facing the stove.

A Single Air Control Regulates
Heat Output and Burn Time
The primary air control lever, on the right side of the
stove, controls the amount of incoming air for starting,
maintaining, and reviving a fire.
More air entering the stove makes the fire burn hotter
and faster, while less air prolongs the burn at a lower
heat output level. (Fig. 28)
For the greatest air supply and maximum heat output
(but the shortest burn time), move the lever toward the
front of the stove. For a fire that will last longer with
less heat, move the lever toward the rear of the stove.
