Does anyone know where this is hiding? Or if there is even one? Has anyone modded theirs?
 
I believe the secondary air intakes on the clyde are in the rear at the bottom corners, they may be covered by the shielding that surrounds the stove and creates the plenum of heated air that the blower circulates around the firebox. The manual does not indicate their location.
 
Thank you for the info. Will take a look over the weekend.

Didn't you every locate the secondary intakes? I was wondering where they might be also and what kind of mod could be done to slow them up.
 
Ended up trading it in for a Heritage II and could not be happier. Needed a damper to slow things. There is a thread about someone who installed a damper on his clyde recently. Good luck
 
Thanks, yea I installed a damper on my Clyde was curiouser what could be done with the hearth secondary intake also. I've trimmed the stop for the primary air to allow it to close a little more. Glad to hear all worked out for you. Happy burning
