Hello all.
I was curious if anyone knows on the newer 2020 Alderlea stoves where the secondary air comes from? I see there is a square metal tube in the back of the stove that feeds the baffle but I am not sure where the air is coming from. Seems like on the older models, the lever on the front of the stove was connected to the secondary air. The new model does not do this. Under the ash pan there is two holes. One is the "boost air" which sends air at the front bottom of the stove. The other hole I have no clue. I am thinking the other hole sends air to the same spot as the primary air controller, they just had to put it in to meet the new epa stuff.
I have my boost air hole blocked, and I am thinking about blocking the other hole next to it. When I shut my stove down, temps are still high and there is always a lively flame with the wood. Never just secondaries going. I wonder if there is some other hole that connects to the square tube in the back that I can partially block as well.
Thanks
