Anyone know where I can find it? I believe I have an older Hastings (the one with the older control board and only 2 ash cleanout traps). I ask because I wonder if the older model has a draft trim adjustment? The newer ones I guess have a dedicated button for the draft trim. Mine doesn't have that. See the attached pic. Thanks.

Thanks but that's what I'm saying. The manual on their site has a newer control panel. Mine has an older one with different options.

Beautiful thank you! I'll be saving this PDF.
 
The control board on my Prescott is the same as yours.
I have the original paper copy manual that came with stove
but also downloaded the pdf a few years ago. They must
have put them in that separate section of their site after they came
out with newer control boards.
 
The damper should be opened to the width of a pencil and that should be what you need. If you need more air your stove is dirty.

I am on my 6th year with my St Croix and have never touched the damper setting regardless of pellets, etc. That's what my dealer tech recommends and there's a sticker on the stove with those instructions... works for me.
 
Yeah I've never had to touch it up until I started having burn issues at the end of last year, but this year I did the leaf blower trick and my flame pattern is back to what it should be, but the glass seems to get dirtier than it used to and faster. Then again, I'm only running the stove on setting 2. Once it gets cold, I'll be burning on 3 consistently and hopefully that will help.
 
I've been gone the last two days... my bride has been using #2 and, of course, the glass was dirty.

I also found she had the versa-grate plate installed wrong after she did a quick cleaning... fixed that and now, on #3, everything seems fine again.
