I'm trying to work out why the secondary air jets which are supposed to
help the clean burn aren't currently working.

I've got as far as this.

The air jets are in a plate in the back of the stove.

They are in an area which is just below the baffle plate across the top of
the inside of the stove which draws the exhaust gasses to the front of the
stove before they flow over the baffle plate and into the flue.

This seems to be a reasonable design for a clean burn, and usually seems
to clean the glass (more or less).

However there are secondary air jets at the back and I am struggling to
work out what might be blocking the air flow to these.

Diagram is shown within
https://www.stovax.com/appliance/sto...s/buying-wood-
burning-stove/how-a-stove-works/
under the heading "Stovax Cleanburn System".

I've removed the baffle plate but I'm...errr...baffled how to confirm
there is an air flow from the base of the stove (where I can feel the
inlet) up the back and out through the air jets at the top.

There was a bit of crud there (but that may have come from the baffle as
it was removed) and I have vacuumed it out but I can't seem to feel any
obvious opening for the air to come up through. No sign of any crud
dropping out through the bottom of the rear vent either.

The parts breakdown shoes that the rear metal plate (behind which magic
happens) is a replaceable part but that seems like very major surgery, and
I so far haven't found any instructions on how to remove and replace it.

So I am asking if anyone else has got their hands dirty with the Stovax
Stockton range and has any light to shed.

Cheers
