Does anyone know how to adjust the air intake on these stoves?

I've read about people pulling "tabs" to adjust the amount of air intake? I guess I'm more visual and need photos pointing this stuff out!

Thanks in advance!
 
You need to remove the left side panel and then you will see the airgate like in my photo, I put a rod on mine that extends out the side so I don't have to remove the side panel.

As you are standing in front of the stove, the left hand side panel will need removed. This takes a phillips screwdriver. Probably #2. Four screws, two on the side and two at the rear of the stove, top and bottom. Them cover will easily fall away from the stove.

To get a good reference as to the location of the gate, open the door and remove the fire pot. You can see the gate at the back of the cavity where the pot resides. The screw that you must loosen to adjust the gate is on the left of the stove as facing it from the front. Loosen screw a small amount and slide the gate a small amount, then restart the stove and let it run 15 minutes and see what the adjustment did for the flame.

I can not tell you to leave the side panel off of the stove until you are happy with the gate adjustments. So if you do leave it off and see that it works fine with it off, you did so on your own.
