Operation
The Encore Multi-Fuel Controls
Two controls regulate the performance of the Encore:
a primary air control supplies oxygen for the fire, and
a damper directs air flow within the stove or directly up
the vent.
Symbols cast into the stove are reminders of the correct
directions for opening and closing the controls.

A Single Air Control Regulates
Heat Output and Burn Time
The primary air control lever, located 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 level. High and low settings appear in Figure 19.
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.

A Damper Directs Air Flow
Within the Stove
The damper handle on the left side of the stove opens
and closes the damper to direct air flow within the
stove.
The damper is
open when the handle points to the back
of the stove, enabling smoke to pass directly into the
chimney. The damper must be open when starting or
reviving a fire, and whenever the griddle or doors are
opened.
The damper is closed when the handle points forward.
Exhaust gases are directed around the rear baffle be-
fore passing up the chimney.
When closing the damper, be sure to pull firmly
enough to snap it into the locked position.
