The P.F.I. specification for standard grade and premium grade residential 

pellet fuel is as follows:

•  CHLORIDES (Salt): Less than 300 p.p.m. to avoid insert and vent 

rusting.

•  BULK DENSITY: 40 lb. / Cu. Ft. minimum

•  MOISTURE CONTENT: 8% maximum

•  ASH CONTENT: < 3% maximum (standard grade) < 1% maximum 

(premium grade)

•  Vented vertical and horizontal (see venting instructions)

•  Manufactured home and mobile home

•  Thermostat or manual operation                                      

•  Bedrooms

Heating

•  Max. feed rate is 4.5 pounds/hour or 37,500 BTU/hour     

•  Min. feed rate is 1.8 pounds/hour or 15,120 BTU/hour  

Venting

This appliance is approved for venting with Type L and Type PL pellet vent 

pipe. The flue collar on the fireplace insert accepts 3” diameter pipe. The 

vent pipe can be installed vertically or horizontally (see Venting section 

for recommended installations).

The combustion air for this fireplace insert is drawn through a pipe at 

the lower rear of the fireplace insert. For mobile home installations a 2” 

ID flex line or pipe can be attached to the fireplace insert’s air intake to 

draw air from outside the house.

Thermostat

This fireplace insert can be operated manually or with a thermostat.

Lighting

This fireplace insert is equipped with an electric self ignitor for ease of 

ignition.

Fuel Specifications

This insert is designed to burn wood pellet fuel. In addition, a corn/wood 

pellet mixture, with a maximum of 50 percent corn can be burned. Burning 

any other fuel that is not approved for use with this appliance will void the 

appliance warranty. 

IMPORTANT: The corn/wood mix needs to be mixed 

evenly before being put in the Winslow™ pellet insert hopper.

Wood Pellet Specifications: 

This appliance has been designed to burn 

wood residue pellets with up to 3% ash content. Dirty fuel will adversely 

affect the performance of the insert.  Any questions regarding pellet fuel 

can be answered at the Pellet Fuels Institute (PFI), www.pelletheat.org.

•  BTU CONTENT: There are a number of variations in pellet fuels that are 

not included in PFI standards. For example, BTU (heat value) content 

may range from just under 8,000 to almost 9,000 Btu, depending 

upon species and region of the country and other variables.

Corn Specifications: Use only clean-shelled corn with a moisture content 

less than 15% and approximate fuel value of 7000 BTU/lb (16,200 kJ/kg).  

Do not attempt to burn corn with higher moisture content or burn lesser 

grade fuels. Do not burn other types of agricultural pellets or by-products 

(alfalfa, cherry pits, olive pits, nut shells, etc.) as they are not permitted 

to be burned in these appliances.
