Dutchwest Federal Airtight Manual
There are quite a few variations of the Dutchwest out there and yours looks like it is one of the earliest models of the Dutchwest. Some of the earlier models left a lot to be desired in the way of the cat housing and the cat performance. Can you access the cat by removing the square plate on the to pof the stove that sits over top of the cat? If so it is probably one of the earliest models. At a minimum I would suggest.
1)Going over all the seams on the stove to check for leaks as most of the stoves that age are due for a rebuild/reseal. 2) Checking all the door gaskets paying very careful attention to the ash pan door gasket and the two front door gaskets. If those gaskets aren't right you will have a lot of problems with the performance 3) Carefully check the inside firebox for any warping around the cat housing and check the stove back for any warping inside the firebox.

If every thing checks out verify the Catalyst is working and if not you can order one from Condar. I think I have the manual for your stove. If you can let me know what the actual model number is or check to see if the square piece on top of the stove, over the cat is removable I can try to PM it to you. It looks to be missing a few parts but it should clean up pretty well.
It is the smaller 224 and I can tell if it has a catalyst air feed or not. This will identify the year it was built I would take the stove apart and re cement because moving these older stoves will cause the cement to pop. It is an easy job and should only take a few hours. You need to make sure the back and right inner heat shields are in place as well as the perforated cast catalyst damper are intact. It will probably need a new cat and I would get one from woodstock, but you can get a cheap one from here.
I would also re gasket and you can find the sizes of the gasket here I would also recommend you block off the bottom air ports and install a fan which can be found here. Dogovor privatizacii kvartiri kazahstan. If you put another $150 and some time into it you will have a nice little heater.
Hi All, I'm a new wood stove owner and I have a question about my Federal Airtight 264CCL made by Dutchwest India LTD. WoodDoc has been a big help so far.
I know he uses a FA 288, and it looks great. Does anyone out there have a manual for it or know where to find one? I've looked all over the net and can't find one for my particular model.
I've found manuals for the Consolidated Dutchwest models, but these are for the stoves after they were bought out by Vermont Castings I believe and there were some slight modifications to the stove. To the best of my knowledge this unit was produced in 83. Thanks to All. Hi All, I'm a new wood stove owner and I have a question about my Federal Airtight 264CCL made by Dutchwest India LTD.
