Operation
Intrepid Multi-fuel’s Controls
Two controls are used to regulate the performance of
the Intrepid Multi-Fuel. A primary air control regulates
the oxygen supply for the fire, and a damper directs
combustion gases through a heat exchanger passage
in the rear. (Fig. 31)
Primary Air Control
The primary air control lever, located at the right rear
corner 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 level.
(Fig. 32)
For the greatest air supply and maximum heat output
(but the shortest burn time), move the lever to the left.
For a fire that will last longer with less heat, move the
lever to the right. You can set the lever anywhere in be-
tween the left and right extremes, shown in Figure 32.
With some experimentation, you will soon discover the
optimum setting that will provide the desired comfort/
performance level from the type of fuel you are using.
The Intrepid Multi-fuel also features an automatic
thermostat that works in conjunction with the primary
air control shutter to ensure an even heat output at any
manual setting you select. The thermostat responds to
the temperature of the cast iron, closing and opening
the air inlet as the fire intensity rises and falls.
