I am putting together some how-to videos and notes for our renters and as the folks that we sold our last home to also struggled with getting the insert to run properly without pouring smoke into the house, I thought that I would make a public video so that the information was out there as a ready-reference.

Our particular model is a BlazeKing Ashford 25, but most on these types of inserts and stoves are similar - the damper or air flow lever is sometimes in a different spot and can be a lever or a pull shaft. Same principle of operation though.

Please refer to your owners manual before using a new stove in a home that you rent or buy for the most accurate and up to date information.
