HELP 1979 garrison wood stove

Is there any way to control the air flow in the box on this? There is no damper in the chimney pipe and I am not sure how to adjust the air flow.

Well, it's complicated: the more you unscrew the draft control wheels, the MORE air there is for the fire and it burns hotter. As you screw them in, there is LESS air for the fire and it burns less hot.

OK, so I lied. It's actually not complicated.

The draft control wheels, are they the things that I have in the first picture?

Yep.
