What is the difference between an airtight stove and a free-burning or non-airtight stove?
A. Generally, an air-tight stove is one that has carefully fitted seams, has a door that seals tightly, and an air inlet that controls the burn rate. A free-burning stove is one with a loose fitting door and without good air regulation. It may also be a stove that can be operated with the door open or closed.
