Two Ways to Add Fuel
The Defiant’s griddle lifts for convenient top-loading of 
logs, and is the easiest way to add fuel. (Fig. 30)

A Damper Directs Air Flow 
Within the Stove
The damper handle on the left side of the stove oper-
ates the damper to direct air flow within the stove.
The damper is open when the handle points to the  
rear, enabling smoke to pass directly into the chimney.  
The damper must be open when starting or reviving a 
fire, and whenever the griddle or doors are opened.
The damper is closed when the handle points forward.  
Smoke travels through the non-catalytic combustion 
system where it can be further burned, before passing 
up the chimney. (Fig. 29)
The damper should always be either fully open or 
fully closed. There are no intermediate positions. 
When closing the damper, be sure to pull firmly 
enough to snap the handle  into the locked posi-
tion. 
However, the front doors open as well for adding an 
occasional log to a fire.  If the stove is equipped with 8” 
(203 mm) stove pipe, the front doors may be opened 
(or even removed) and the optional Defiant spark 
screen placed in the opening for open-fire viewing.  The 
Defiant is not approved for operation with the front 
doors open if equipped with a 6” (152 mm) chimney 
connector or chimney.

Fig. 31  To open the front doors, turn the handle clockwise.
To open the front doors, insert the handle into the door 
latch stub and turn it to the left and up. (Fig. 31) 
To close them, always close the left door first.  Turn the 
handle in the right door to the left and up (to the open 
position) and close it.  Finally, push on the door as you 
turn the handle to the right and down.  The doors will 
draw in slightly, and the handle should offer some resis-
tance as you turn it to the closed position. 
To reduce the risk of breaking the glass, avoid striking 
the glass or slamming the doors.
When you are not using the door handle, store it in the 
holder behind the right front leg of the stove. Be careful 
to not drop the handle, since it is breakable.
WARNING:  Fireplace stoves equipped with doors 
should be operated only with doors fully open or 
doors fully closed. If doors are left partly open, gas 
and flame may be drawn out of the fireplace stove 
opening, creating risks from both fire and smoke. 
WARNING: For safety and greatest efficiency, oper-
ate your stove only with all doors/griddles fully 
closed. The test standard for your stove when it is 
operated in this mode is UL 1482.
The Defiant may be used as a fireplace with the 
front doors open or removed, BUT only when it 
is equipped with 8” (203 mm) stove pipe and only 
when the optional spark screen is secured correctly 
in the opening to protect against the possibility 
of sparks and embers leaving the stove. The test 
standard for your stove when it is operated in this 
mode is UL 737.  
Use only the Defiant spark screen, Item #1907, with 
your Defiant.  
Defiant spark screens are available from your Ver-
mont Castings Dealer.
