Hi,

Finding information about the Intrepid II (I think I have the II anyway) in Sweden is not that easy. Not many people seems to own one here
I was told this forum was a good one so any help will me much appreciated.

My problem is that I get smoke puffs.
It happens some time after I have closed the back flap (or whatever it is called) when the temprature is high enough to switch over to catalytic burning.
In the beginning it works fine, but after some time it starts puffing. I always keep the lower air intake fully open.

Maybe I'm doing something terribly wrong, but I work up the stove to the recommended teperature before I close the back flap.

Oh, one more thing, the catalytic part can be cleaned somehow, I do not even know where to look as I do not have a drawing of the stove. Do you have a good drawing (cross section) or pictures?
