Fresh air vents... Are you talking about in the ash door...as addition to the primary air bi-metallic?hotblast1357 wrote: ↑Sat. Nov. 30, 2019 6:28 amFirst off we have a 30-95 sitting in the garage in the corner so I guess that puts me into the club to respond in this thread? Lmao
It’s odd to me as to why the hitzer needs the fresh air vents in addition to the bi metallic control?
We have 3 saey Hannover stoves in the family, they operate on a bi metallic control, and run great, there is no other source of primary air with them, it would seem to me that the additional primary air vents are just one more thing to “tinker” with, why not shut them/plug them and just use the bi metallic control?
If so...if that’s what your asking, then here’s my not so experienced thought on that.
Having the bi-metallic AND ash door vents allows you to both automatically control the stove as well as manually control the stove.
In talking with Dean Lehman’s son just yesterday over the phone about this...ash door vents as well as the bi-metallic...I mentioned if that was the reason for both and he seemed to indicate that was the case.
I would tend to think this would be the case should a bi-metallic fail...ash door vent would allow you to continue to run the stove manually while waiting on a new bi-metallic.
