Long time lurker, new to forum. Been burning about 9 years on weekends and evenings. Last fall I picked up a Jotul Nordic on C/L locally. It is a clean stove found no issues with it. I am cleaning it out today and I see an adjustable plate on the underside of the stove right rear. I knew it was there by looking at the exploded view in the manual. When I removed the inside bottom grate, there is a small "port" in the cast corresponding to the plate. Can I assume that this is the secondary air intake? This port was completely covered by the plate. It moves in a semi-circular motion Now, being curious, I took the plate out to see what it is all about. Does anyone familiar with this stove adjust it as you burn? Is this a factory set device? The plate has a little notch that a fire poker could easily let into it to adjust it. There is nothing mentioned in the manual if this can or should be used? Judging by the looks of it, it has always been closed, but there seems to be a definite purpose. Thanks in advance for any opinions.
