HOW YOUR STOVE WORKS
Understanding how your Stove Works
Your Hamer Stove incorporates advanced air control systems, each playing a vital role in delivering an
ef昀椀cient, clean, and beautiful burn. Here’s how each system contributes to the stove’s exceptional
performance:
1. The Primary Air System is key when burning solid fuels such as coal and is essential during the initial
stages of 昀椀re lighting or reigniting wood on low embers. This air enters the appliance from beneath the
grate, delivering oxygen directly to the base of the fuel to maintain combustion. Once the 昀椀re is
established, the primary air’s role diminishes as the other air systems take over, ensuring a more ef昀椀cient
and clean burn.
2. The Secondary Air Wash is designed speci昀椀cally for burning seasoned wood and works to keep your
stove’s glass clean and clear. As air enters the stove, it’s preheated and carefully balanced through our
innovative air wash baf昀氀e system. This preheated air 昀氀ows down across the inside of the glass, creating
an effective curtain of air. Not only does this help prevent soot and deposits from settling, but it also
enhances the combustion of gases, ensuring a more ef昀椀cient burn.
3. The Double Tertiary Air System operates automatically to boost ef昀椀ciency and reduce emissions. By
introducing air into the upper part of the 昀椀rebox, it reignites leftover gases and particles that weren’t
fully combusted during the primary or secondary stages. This system enhances overall performance,
ensuring your stove meets modern eco-design standards while providing cleaner and more ef昀椀cient heat.
4. The Clean-Flow Flue Cage is made from three layers of stainless steel, each perforated with precision
holes that allow 昀氀ue gases to pass through. As the stove operates and the 昀氀ue cage heats up, the
elevated temperatures encourage further interaction with the 昀氀ue gases. We believe this process helps
reduce particulates in the gases and contribute to a cleaner performance overall.
