C. General Maintenance
Types of Fuel
The type of fuel you are burning will dictate how often you
have to clean your burnpot.
If the fuel you are burning has a high dirt or ash content or
you are burning shelled field corn, it may be necessary to
clean the burnpot more than once a day.
Dirty fuel will cause clinkers to form in the burnpot. A clinker is
formed when dirt, ash or a non-burnable substance is heated
to 2000° F (1093° C) and becomes glass-like.
Once a year the removal of the fireplace insert should be done
for the purpose of inspecting the fireplace insert and fireplace.
Be sure to inspect and clean exhaust venting system
regularly.
