Flash Curtain / Heat Shield
Principles of the Flash Curtain / Heat Shield
The purpose of the ash curtain is to decrease the amount of
smoke emitted from the door when loading wood into the rebox.
The ash curtain decreases the size of the rebox opening,
making that size more in proportion to the area the natural draft
of the chimney will draw from. As a heat shield, the ash curtain
restricts the amount of direct heat that contacts the rebox door
directly.
Maintenance/Result
Leaving the ash curtain in place is effective for the principles
outlined above.
Removal and Replacement
1) The plate is slotted at the top and ts loosely onto
two hooks, installed above the rebox door
opening.
2) With the ashes cooled down, lift up on the plate
until it releases itself from the hooks.
