BURNER POT AND LINER

 (Checked Daily/Emptied Weekly)

This is the ‘pot’ where the pellets are burned. 

Only clean when the unit is cold.

Note: If, after long periods of burning, the fire continually builds up and overflows the burn pot or there 

is a build up of clinkers, this is an indication that the pellet fuel quality is poor or the stove may need 

cleaning. Check the stove for ash build up (clean if required) and adjust the slider / damper to produce 

the proper clean combustion. 
1.  Open the door using the door handle located on the right-hand side of the stove.
2.  Lift the lever on burn pot to unlock the fire grate and remove it.
3.  The agitator locks at the right; rotate the top of the agitator towards the back of the firebox to unlock 

it, slide it to the left, and lift it out of the burn pot liner. 

4.  Lift the burn pot liner out of the stove. 
5.  Lift the burn pot from the firebox by gently lifting it up at the front of the burn pot, then slide it out 

from around the air intake tube and the ignitor cartridge. The ignitor is spring loaded to help with 

removal and installation.

6.  Remove any build up on the agitator (calcium build-ups are 

common when burning corn). Using a metal scrapper, remove 

material that has accumulated or is clogging the liner’s holes. 

Then dispose of the scrapped ashes from the liner and from 

inside the burn-pot. 

7.  Place the burn-pot back into the stove, there are hooks at the 

front of the burn pot that sit in a mount in the firebox. Ensure 

that the air intake tube and the ignitor cartridge are properly 

inserted into the burn pot. 

8.  Place the liner back into the burn-pot, making sure that the 

ignitor hole in the liner is aligned with the ignitor tube; push 

the liner up against the ignitor tube.

9.  Slide  the  agitator  back  into  place  and  turn  rotate  the  top 

towards the front of the stove to lock it in.

10. Set the fire grate in place, it should sit level on the front and 

back of the burn pot liner. Lock it in with the lever on the burn 

pot.

11. Close the door
