Where all does the BK's air come into the stove? I understand the airwash of the door but is that the only place?

Here is a cutawway of the stove. I know the air enters at the rear of the stove, near the bottom, and then travels up the rear, through the T'stat damper control near the top. After that I'm not sure how it gets to the front and washes the glass. I wonder if it travels through a pathway that is outlined in red...from the rear to the front and angles up slightly. But, I'm not sure if this is correct. Maybe someone else will chime in and verify this.

The 2 large pipes that are at the top L & R are fed from the flapper in the back. A manifold is at either end. The back chute and 2 pipes preheat the air before it is fed out of the front manifold air wash.
 
Gotcha. I was just wondering if there were any other inlets other than the airwash that is fed by the 2 pipes. Just out of curiosity..

That's it.
You would have to get a tube stove to have more..but some end up plugging them with tin foil or something...maybe that's just when they runaway.
