Marco Fireplace
Marco Fireplace
We purchased a 1998 Gateway, by Champion, in May this year. It is on one acre. There is a fireplace, manufacturer is Marco. The company no longer exists!
There is a lever on the right side of the fireplace that we cannot quite figure out! We have found the damper lever, we think, on the top center. Anyone else have one of these?

Re: Marco Fireplace
That lever I think opens a path for air to be vented to the fire place from outside air. If you look outside the home a vent that looks like a dryer vent should be there. This is suppose to make your fire place more efficient by not taking warm air from the inside of your home up your chimney.
Re: Marco Fireplace
I didn't see any vent outside, maybe it is under the house? We are on a foundation, and do have a crawlspace. We tried using the "blower" WOW! is that LOUD!
Thanks,

Re: Marco Fireplace
That very well could be your air control - the air would be drawn from outside (likely your crawl space). Try moving the lever from one side, let it sit 15 sec, then move to the other side. If the fire changes in intensity, that's your air control, to control the burn rate. When starting a fire, put the lever in the position that allows the most airflow.
Re: Marco Fireplace
I have a Marco Fireplace, maybe you can help me, I can't seem to find a damper switch.

Re: Marco Fireplace
The fresh air intake is under the home..straight down from the fireplace...Your crawlspace will have vents as well..to allow the free flow of air....
Re: Marco Fireplace
the vents where my blower is have cold air coming out when it's windy, could that extra lever control that?? I'll try it.

Re: Marco Fireplace
Can someone please tell me where i can get an owners manual for a marco Fireplace? We just purchased this home in Aug. but it was built in 1997 and of course Marco is no longer in business. You'd think you could at least still find the owners manual for these things somewhere!!!!! Thanks
