Derco INC. Grizzly FPI-1 LEX Need INFO

[Phillipn]

Hi we just bought a used Grizzly stove and I cant seem to find any info on this stove anywhere it was manufactured in 11/91 I was wondering what the lever does at the top in the middle just above the door as its not a flue control, it moves a rectuangler piece that opens and closes a second airway in the back of the stove.

Likely a damper control, but some pictures would really help with replies.

 

[Phillipn]

I tried to upload pics but my phone won't take a low enough quality photo to upload.

 

[Hoytman]

I never have any issues. Maybe it’s something else.

 

[Phillipn]

So it goes to this flap in the back of the stove and tou can see on the left the main opening from the stove to the pipe.

had to get an image compressor to get the pic uploaded.

Hope these help also is the chimney coller supposed to be that short?

 

[joop]

built in damper maybe?

Unfortunately I don't think so in the first picture I posted you can see that flap on the right and the main opening on the left. So I don't think it's the damper but I could be wrong.

maybe you open on cold starts,to help draft?just throwing to see if it sticks lol.someone will know

That's what I'm thinking but also now need to figure out if the chimney coller is supposed to be that short and if so what kind of adaptor do I need to attach it to the rest of my pipe.

It is a cat stove that is the bypass damper

Okay that answers 1 question thank you where would the cat go and what adaptor do I need so I can mount the pipe to it?

Don't know where the cat would go. But the pipe should be easy just what ever size pipe the outlet is. I only know it's a cat stove from the data plate

Thank you! the pipe it came with is NOT the right pipe, it's something someone Frankensteined together. its an 8 inch pipe 1/2 an inch thick with a damper in it and a bead welded to the outside so it can rest on the top of the stove and not interfere with the cat damper. I was wanting to get some single like what's in the pics but it just goes all the wat down till its resting on that damper control rod.

The bead on the crimped end drops through as well?

No the bead dosent have a chance to contact the stove before the crimp sits on that control rod.

 

[bholler]

So trim the crimp shorter

That I can do just didn't know if that was safe.
