The non-epa stoves you buy today are designed to flow free air through them like a fireplace. Problem was - how do you regulate a fireplace, so they made an exemption. My understanding of EPA stove regulations is this: When they decided to limit the emissions of wood burning appliances, they set some standards. When properly installed you slide it left to right to open and close the holes and use the protruding end of the bolt as a handle. This blt will hold the slider on the door and ack as the handle to the slider so you nees to place it so it will not interfere with the opening and closing of those vents. Put another hole in it 1/4 inch diameter where the slider hole in the ash door is. Cut you some corresponding holes in it to match the casting. Take a flat piece of sheet metal about 1/8 inch thick, lay it over the holes. They did that because the EPA regulates them because smoke is released into the air when it burns.

I have no idea what other type of non-functional crap they are trying to foist off on the consumer, but I wouldn't buy so much as a pencil from this company.ĭO NOT LET U.S. They also make a line called 'Wonder Wood'.

Stove's own admonitions in the reference manual quoted above.) This is simply unacceptable. If you load up this stove, it will burn so hot that it will overheat and become a true fire hazard. To use this stove in this condition is DANGEROUS! And despite their contention otherwise it is missing! 'Don't use the heater with missing or worn parts.' I'll have to assume that manual was written when the ash door draft control was still an integral part of that stove.

That's about as helpful as screen doors on a submarine isn't it? In another silly reference, they suggest checking for a worn gasket in the door, if your fires are burning too hot.Ĭheck the freakin' gasket? The door is full of holes, and they suggest checking the gasket? Here's a doozy! Make sure the door is closed, even though damn thing is full of holes, keep it closed. Of what earthly value is that draft if the door right next to it is full of holes like this? The fire will burn so hot that the draft will never open! Now you wanna hear (see) some funny stuff? This is from their manual that comes with the stove. Is there a site where I can get an owners manual for this Ashley. Have an Ashley woodstove that I inherited with the house. This is from their manual that comes with the stove. I've burned an Ashley wood stove for over 30 years. Stove should simply not sell this product if this is how they have to configure it! For those of you who are unfamiliar with this stove, it has a thermostatic draft that opens or closes at the stove cools down or warms up. The point is, this stove will not function in an acceptable manner with all that air coming through the ash door all the time. I don't know how the freakin' EPA got its nose stuck into wood stoves but that IS NOT the point. They said that the EPA would not allow them to put that part on the stove. They told me, in terms less than apologetic, that the part was not missing. So I called the company ( United States Stove Company) to let them know about the missing part.

Here's what I got: Look at the holes in that door! If you know anything about burning wood you will know that you cannot possibly control the fire in the stove with that much air coming in underneath it. That part being the sliding plate to control the draft through the ash clean-out door. I uncrated the stove, examined it and found, what I thought to be, a part missing.

I thought it was time for a new one so I bought one and had it delivered.
