I recently bought a Quadra-Fire 4300 ACC woodstove and am wanting to make sure I understand how the air controls work.
With the above picture, help me understand why the air tubes are open on the left end. I would think having small holes in the rear air tubes and bigger holes in the front ones would be rendered ineffective by the end being open. Wouldn't a lot of air come out the end of the rear tubes with small holes?
So am I right in assuming all fresh air enters at the rear of the stove though the circular hole then goes though a passageway along the right side (if standing in front facing the stove) where it can come through
1. Rear air
2. Startup air
3. Burn rate air
4. Secondary burn tubes?
