The fluepipe connector should be secured to the stove
flue collar using the three self-tapping screws provided,
to provide a mechanically sound joint. Secure the
screws through the flue connector holes in the flue out-
let. (Fig. 17) The joint should then be sealed with high
temperature cement or proprietary flue joint sealant
designed for solid fuel applications.
This stove is a premium product constructed from cast
iron, and if looked after, will last for many years, even
with constant use. The controls are simple to use and
comprise a flue damper that opens or closes the flue
outlet and a primary air control lever. The primary air
control is thermostatic and provides a consistent output
at any setting. The flue damper can be opened to
increase flue draught for starting or rekindling the fire,
and is closed to provide secondary combustion of the
flue gases by forcing the flue gases through the louvers
in the rear of the firebox in to the secondary chamber.
Secondary combustion occurs in the secondary com-
bustion chamber in the rear of the firebox. The high
temperatures attained in this area encourage further
burning of the volatile gases in the smoke, reducing
emissions, reducing creosote deposits in the flue and
increasing the efficiency of the stove. Long burn periods
are achieved when the stove is in secondary combus-
tion mode with the damper closed.
Two controls are used to regulate the performance of
the Intrepid multifuel. A primary air control lever (situat-
ed on the top right hand rear of the stove) regulates the
supply of air to the fire. A damper (situated at the left
hand rear of the stove) opens and closes the direct flue

outlet from the rear of the firebox. In the closed position
this damper directs the flue gases through the second-
ary combustion chamber in the rear of the stove, and
in the open position allows unrestricted flow of the flue
gases in to the flue, thereby increasing flue draught.
