Combustion Air
Controllable Combustion Air enters your ESSE cook stove
from the circular air inlet at the base of the appliance, and
is adjusted by the air controller. When moved to the right,
there is more air and a fiercer burn rate, whilst moved to
the left, there is less air, and softer burn rate.
Tertiary Air enters your ESSE cook stove through two small
air inlets the base of the appliance, entering the firebox
through a series of holes in two pipes located at the top of
the firebox. The amount of Tertiary Air is not adjustable,
but carefully positioned to help achieve improved
efficiency and a clean burn.
Pilot Air enters your ESSE cook stove through a small hole
at the front of the base of the appliance. The Pilot Air helps
keep the cook stove burning cleanly, even towards the
end of a log’s useful life.
