Dutchwest Federal Airtight Manual

The diagram above shows all the original parts for this unit. We are only able to get the parts listed below. If the part you need is not.

BillSchiller: Because I’m processing wood now for this year and next year, would it be better to split the wood smaller so it dries faster and I stand a chance of having dryer wood by mid winter? The smaller split wood will dry faster. But you may want bigger chunks to burn overnight on a good bed of coals. The other thing I can suggest for drying wood is to bring in a fair quantity in the winter, possibly a week’s worth. It will dry very fast indoors as warm indoor air gets very dry in subzero conditions.

As a spinoff it will serve to humidify to a degree. Okay, I found a Federal Airtight wood stove. Model FA224CCML I bought it for $200 and sold our parlor stove for $100.

It doesn’t have a secondary air system. What it has is what they call an ‘over fire’ and ‘under fire’ air inlets.

It is equipped with a 6'x 2' catalytic combustor which appears to have some life in it. I found some new ones on eBay for $135. If anyone has input on this stove, I would appreciate it.

What I do want to know is, when I removed the parlor stove to put this in place, there was about 1/4'-1/2' layer of soot up the 18’ wall single wall pipe inside the house. I knocked as much as I could and the pipe was considerably lighter after. I didn’t notice any creosote, just charcoal dust. Do I need to worry about firing up the stove for the first time?

Is this normal? Will it cause a chimney fire? I vote for running a chimney brush through the chimney. There will likely be complaints arising from one part of the process or another, that fine soot is worse than drywall dust. If you can, maybe brush the vertical part from above, then after allowing the soot time to settle, carefully take the horizontal section outside and brush and dump it on the ground. If nothing else, the work will improve your heat transfer from the horizontal pipe.

I am not certain if the soot is a high fire hazard, but any accumulation of combustible material in a chimney is cause for concern. Taken to a certain degree it should spontaneously burn, as Wayne observes with intake “events”.

But on this scale and draft it could be quite the event. Beautiful stove, btw, you got a steal of a deal there, perfect size for your home, and should save you half the wood you burnt last year, with much more restful nights.

Another month and you should be putting that unit to good use in your neck of the woods, days are getting shorter. Vadivelu comedy download avi. I wish you said you where looking at that stove before you bought it.

I have the same stove. It is designed as a wood or coal burning stove. So Naturally it fails at both. As to the question of the chimney clean it with a brush brush from the bottom. Get a new temp probe that sits in the steal plate over the cat converter it is critical to understanding how to keep that stove running the right air mix. Here is how I run mine. Close the air vent by the ashtray door and forget that grate and door is there.

The grate will probably fall out anyway mine was burned out when I moved back up to the farm and it wasn’t really run that hard. The ash tray and door vent are needed for coal but it will allow your wood coals to fall down before they are fully burnt and the stove will be hard to keep running. So I just leave the bottom full of ashes and shovel down to the grate from the side door don’t open the front door it is a real pain to deal with when the fire decided to fall out the front On the side with the door. The upper small air vent I think mine is 1 turn out from closed. Only use this to set how much air you need to get the cat hot and burning right once you get it running nice in the middle of the zone LEAVE THE TOP AIR VENT ALONE!!! My uncle hated the stove because he would try to run it with that air supply.

Now the big air vent in the door use that to control your fire and make sure the latch actually holds the door shut and the rope is good or that stove will runaway. One thing to watch out for. That stove doesn’t like it at all if you leave the cat bypass closed and force the fire through the cat as the stove cools off.
