How They‘re Made

Flue Damper

Flue dampers are made out of threaded 3/8” steel rod with a spring handle on the left to dissipate heat better, and a compression spring on the right to maintain pressure on the damper.

Flue dampers help to keep heat inside the firebox while still allowing smoke to escape. They also help with slowing down draft which provides longer burn times.

Flue Collars

Flue collars are always welded on from the bottom side for a cleaner look. All measurements given for flue collars are inside dimensions.

For example, a stove that takes 4” stovepipe, will have a 4” inside dimension flue collar.

Primary Air Control

The primary air control is opened by sliding out a steel plate to allow air to enter the firebox, and is closed by pushing the plate in. There’s a pin under the plate to prevent the plate from coming out.

Handles

Handles are all hardwood, usually Walnut but always specified in the stove listing.

Couplers are welded onto the steel side of the handle so the wooden handle can be be bolted to the steel handle.
