Franklin Cast Products sold the Scandia brand I think. These were Taiwan knock-offs of popular stoves from Jotul, VC, etc.. This is the first time I have seen a stove made in USA by them. What other controls are there on the stove besides the large knob sticking out of the lower front right?
 
That is it. I took the stove back as I did not know where to get parts etc as I could find no information
 
If this is a catalytic stove then there should be at least 2 controls I would think. One to control the air supply and one to bypass the catalyst while the fire is warming up.
 
The house I just bought has the same Concorde Catalytic stove. I couldn't find the manual online either, but I found an old Popular Science magazine scan that showcases this particular stove (Attached). It has a diagram that explains how it works.
It helped me figure out that mine is missing the catalytic combustor (I'm now looking to find where to buy a replacement cat), and mine's also missing the bypass-damper control rod shown in the diagram (No idea why it's not there).
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
