FUEL SPECIFICATIONS
Pellet quality is very important for the efficient operation of your Fire, please read the following information:
This Fire has been designed to burn 6mm Premium Quality Wood Pellets only. Do not use any other type of fuel, as
this will void any warranties stated in this manual. The performance of your Fire is greatly affected by the type and
quality of wood pellets being burned. Because the heat output and ash content of various quality wood pellet fuel
differs, this will considerably affect the performance and heat output of Fire. Parkwood Pellet Fires recommend that
you burn only premium quality wood pellet fuel. Poor quality pellet fuel will result in excessive amounts of ash in the
Burn Pot Liner, less than normal heat output and the firebox becoming black with carbon. Refer to Pellet Fuel Quality
on page 30 for proper fire operation when poor quality fuel is being used.
It is important to select and use only pellets that are dry and free of dirt or any impurities such as high salt or silica
content. Dirty fuel will adversely affect the operation and performance of the unit and will void the warranty.
We recommend the use of pellets that meet or exceed AS/NZS 4014.6 2007 as listed below.
