I bought this a couple years ago but only had it fitted in my new house for 6 months.. I am very happy with the stove. I got the double door with the cross bars but I took them out of the door, and I think it looks better, My question is I only started to light it about month ago, t heats the water very fast and gives heat to rads but some times better than others, just wondering when the fire is going well which way should the top vent be and the handle on the right for the floor be to give max heat to rads,, Thank you

Stove expert replied: Have you got the thermostat fitted? Air Controls Secondary Air Control (Open Right) Primary Air The thermostat at the rear of the stove controls the primary air. The door sliders should be kept closed or the thermostat will not be able to control the fire. Secondary Air Secondary air is controlled via the slider above the doors; it is this “Airwash” that keeps a clean and uninterrupted view of the fire.
