burn pot. Once the corn has formed a clump in the burn pot the pot
will overload and slowly the fire will die out.
Procedure for adjusting the damper for burning Corn, Wheat, Rye &
Distiller’s Grain:
a.
Once the Stove is burning, leave the control board on the #1 setting for ½ an hour.
This will allow the Stove to warm up before any adjustments to the damper are
made. After ½ an hour, look in the burn pot to see if the burn pot is balanced. The
Stove should be burning fine and an adjustment is most likely not needed.
b.
Advance the heat setting to #2 and let the Stove burn at this setting for ½ an hour.
Check the burn pot to see if it is balanced. Most likely the Stove will be burning
fine at this point.
c.
Advance the heat setting to #3 and let the Stove burn at this setting for ½ an hour.
Check the burn pot to see if it is balanced.
Remember:
Look at the coals in the
pot, not at what the flame looks like. Most likely the damper will not need to be
adjusted.
d.
Advance the heat setting to #4 and let the Stove burn at this setting for ½ an hour.
Check to see if the pot is balanced. This is where a damper adjustment
might
need
to be made. As the heat setting reaches the higher settings the
“Lag time”
can
become too long if the air isn’t adjusted correctly. If you notice that the coals are
being covered up with unburned corn, adjust the damper to give it more air.
Remember:
Only turn the setscrew one ½ turn
counter-clockwise
to open the
damper
and
remember to use the handle to place the damper against the
screw
(You might need to use a screwdriver to break up the clump of corn in the
burn pot to allow for proper airflow). Wait 15 minutes to see if the burn pot
becomes balanced. Repeat this step as many times as needed until the burn pot
becomes balanced.
e.
Advance the heat setting to #5 and let the Stove burn at this setting for ½ an hour.
Check the burn pot to see if it is balanced. A small damper adjustment might need
to be made at this time to make sure the “
Lag time”
isn’t too long.
Remember:
Only turn the setscrew one 1/2 turn
counter-clockwise
to open the damper
and
remember to use the handle to place the damper against the screw
. Wait 15
minutes to see if the burn pot becomes balanced. Repeat this step as many times
as needed until the burn pot becomes balanced.
If the Stove has been connected to an existing chimney system that has good natural
draft, the procedure mentioned in the last 2 points above may actually require that
