Dutchwest Federal Airtight Manual

Federal Airtight Wood Stove Federal Airtight was another company that cranked out stoves in the 70s and 80s. The quality on these were a little suspect from what I've gathered. But you may find them in decent condition in old homes and cottages. Your stove may labeled Dutch West India as well. From 1984 to 1997 these stoves were manufactured by Dutchwest. Here a link to a diagram of thoses stove: Here's a link to a PDF of some of the Federal Airtight models, made under Dutchwest: Many of these units prior to 1984 were made in other countries, and so U.S. Support isn't really available.

The line came under control of Majestic Fireplace but not until the 1980s. Stoves made before 1983 or so were under the under manufacturer, which has since gone bankrupt. Other parts stores may have some pieces for it, but most stoves that old are usually better off being replaced due to age and efficiency.

The FA288CCL was a model that could handle this, so it can give you some flexibility with fuel options. Another model with decent specs was the FA264CCL. It could heat areas from 9,000 to 13,000 cu.

We have the 'top' off the Model 224ACL (Federal Airtight) and have found that the sealant is breaking up all around the metal plating. The stove has a catalytic converter, and that was what we were originally looking at. Then noticed the gasket had come off the damper (by-pass gate) causing it not to seal. That's when we removed the top plate of the stove to get to the damper. Question: What do we use to seal around the metal plates and to seal the 'top' back after we replace the gasket on the damper?

I just completely rebuilt a Dutchwest stove. I have the complete written disassembly/assembly instuctions if you need them. I used 3 tubes of RED DEVIL stove cement for reassembly. I got the new gasket material from a local stove shop. It was not difficult, a little dirty, and the results were good. The stove was 15 years old and most of the gaskets were dried out and some of the cement seals were deteriorated.

Most important thing is to clean out ALL the old cement from the joints and make the joints perfectly clean down to bare metal. I used a wire brush wheel on a drill and a hand wire brush and some small scraper tools. I just completely rebuilt a Dutchwest stove.

Frankly, I wouldn't buy a cast iron stove --- especially not a modern cast iron catalytic stove. Cast iron was the material of choice for building stoves ---- a hundred years ago. It was the best way to build a metal stove, but various pieces had to be bolted together --- not an especially durable method of assembly. These days sheet steel stoves that are welded together are the material of choice. They are far stronger, resistant to cracking due to temperature changes and are welded into one main piece in most cases.
