De intensiteit waarmee de brandstof verbrandt, en daarmee de temperatuur van de vuurhaard, wordt geregeld door de luchtinlaat in de vuurhaard. Zuurstof in de lucht voedt het vuur.

The primary way to feed air to the firebox is by opening the regulator and propelling the vehicle. As the steam is expelled from the boiler through steam chest and cylinders out into the atmosphere, fresh air is drawn to the firebox. This happens with every gear cycle, and the higher the cutoff setting the more the airflow.

Daarnaast zijn er twee bedieningselementen die zijn ontworpen om trek, ventilator en demper aan te passen.

Blower is usually operated by a valve. When open, it releases steam from the boiler around the chimney area. This creates vacuum, pulling in air into the firebox. This is used when a vehicle is stationary. Having the blower open while accelerating is wasteful however, because the acceleration airflow is vastly superior to blower.

Damper is usually operated by a lever. When closed (pushed down) it chokes the airflow, drastically reducing fire temperature. This is used to intentionally cut steam production when it is no longer needed.

-The most basic way the air gets fed into the firebox is simply by draft from opening the regulator and propelling the vehicle.

-Blower is usually operated by a valve. When open, it releases steam from the boiler around the chimney area. This creates draft, bringing more air into the firebox. This is used when there is a desire to increase the temperature of the firebox, but not to accelerate, such as in the case of going downhill or being stationary. Having the blower open while accelerating is wasteful however, because the acceleration draft is superior and the blower in that case simply wastes steam into the atmosphere.
