APPROVED FUELS-
Pellets, Corn, Wheat, Rye, Cherry Pits & distiller’s Grain only
PELLETS & CHERRY PITS
Clinkers and Ash are by-products of pellet & Cherry pit combustion and are not caused solely by your
Furnace. Furnace performance can be quickly and severely reduced if poor quality fuel is used.
Contact your dealer for more information on APFI approved wood pellet fuels. No Standard
exists for Cherry Pits.
NOTE:
Pellets with excessive sawdust should be screened by sifting with a 1/4" mesh screen.
Store Pellets under cover on a wooden pallet or other methods to ensure they do not become rain
soaked or absorb moisture from damp or wet floors. Do not store pellets within Furnace installation
clearances or within the space required for ash removal.
CORN, WHEAT, RYE, DISTILLER’S GRAIN
These grains must have a 15% or less moisture content. The keys to satisfactory performance are: proper
operation of the stove, diligent maintenance and burning only dry, clean, quality corn, wheat, rye & Distiller’s
Grain.
NOTE: Corn, Wheat, Rye & Distiller’s Grain with excessive grain dust must be screened, by sifting with
the appropriate size mesh screening. Large pieces of cob may plug the auger.
No Standards exists for
these fuels. Inspect fuel before buying.
NOTE: Corn with excessive grain dust must be screened, by sifting with 3/16" mesh screening.
Large pieces of cob may plug the auger.
Store corn in a tight container or use other methods to ensure they do not become rain soaked or
absorb moisture from damp or wet floors. This will also prevent rodents from becoming a problem. Do
not store corn within Furnace installation clearances or within the space required for clinker removal.
The Furnace is not warranted against damage caused by poor quality corn, incorrect operation, poor
maintenance or incorrect installation.
The Revolution Burn system
was specifically developed to burn most grades of pellets and many
other biomass fuels, such as Corn, Wheat & Rye (Other fuels are being tested). When burning Corn,
Wheat & Rye the Revolution pot is designed to cut the clinkers that form in the rotating drum. More
and more pellets are also being produced with higher ash content than is allowed in a Premium Pellet.
This requires a design that is capable of handling the ash produced in lower grade fuels. The
Revolution Burnpot consists of a rotating drum that is divided into 4 sections. The drum is rotated on
timed intervals to empty ash and keep the pot burning at optimum efficiency. This eliminates the need
to frequently shut the unit down for maintenance. Read the section covering Daily, Periodic and
Yearly Maintenance for proper Maintenance Schedules.
The Furnace is not warranted against damage caused by using poor pellets or other fuels not
approved for use in this furnace, incorrect operation, improper maintenance, or incorrect
installation.
