NOTE:
We recommend the use of a 50-50 blend of corn
and wood pellets. The only change in operation is that the
feed rate may require a slight adjustment. If the appliance
is running all of the time, 100% corn will work after the fire
has been started using wood pellets.
J. Feed Rate Adjustment Instructions
The feed adjustment control rod is factory set, and should
be adequate for most fuels. However, if the flame height is
too high or too low, you will need to adjust the feed rate.
Wait until the appliance has been burning for 15 minutes
before making your adjustments and allow 15 minutes for
feed adjustment to take effect.
1. Loosen the set screw 1/4 to 1/2 turn during set-up
of appliance. This will allow movement of the feed
adjustment control rod. Do not re-tighten set screw
(Figure 11.3)
. Loosen the wing nut.
2. Adjust the feed adjustment control rod upward towards
the “+” symbol to increase the feed rate and flame
height or down towards the “-” symbol, to decrease the
feed rate and flame height.
3. Re-tighten the wing nut.
I. Fire Characteristics
A properly adjusted fire with the heat output control switch
set on “high” has a short active flame pattern that extends
out of the fire pot approximately 4 inches (102mm). If the
fire has tall flames with black tails and seems somewhat
lazy, the feed rate will need to be reduced. This is done
by sliding the fuel adjustment control rod down, which will
reduce the feed. If the fire is not 4 inches (102mm) tall, slide
the fuel adjustment control rod up to increase the feed. A
medium and low setting will give a shorter flame. The flame
will rise and fall somewhat. This is normal.

Fire Risk.
• High ask fuels, or lack of maintenance, can
cause the fire pot to fill with ash and clinker.
If the fire pot fills to the top, immediately
shut down the appliance and clean.
• Failure to do so could result in smoking,
sooting and possible hoper fires.
