BURNING CORN IN THE PB150
1. The PB150 will burn most types of clean-shelled corn. It is not necessary to mix
the corn with wood pellets, although some people have had good success
burning a 50/50 mix. The PB150 boiler is supplied with a plug in the metering
cup. When burning corn leave this plug in to prevent over fuelling the boiler.
2. Typically burning corn requires a bit more combustion air than wood pellets.
The shutter on the draft inducer should be set at no less than 50% open, the
cycle time at 8 minutes, and the pilot draft switch on the primary control
medium.
3. The moisture content of the corn should be 15% or less, and care should be
taken to ensure that there are no foreign objects in the corn (i.e. sticks, stalks,
cob pieces) which will jam the feed system.
4. We recommend starting a corn fire with wood pellets as corn has a dense shell
that can be difficult to start. Note that corn has more BTU’s than wood pellets,
about 10,000 BTU’s per pound. Use gel starter to light unit.
WARNING
DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OR FLUIDS TO START THE FIRE.
DO NOT BURN GARBAGE, GASOLINE, NAPHTHA, ENGINE OIL OR OTHER
INAPPROPRIATE MATERIALS.
5. When burning corn, the primary combustion takes place on a fluidized bed at
the bottom of the fire pot. That’s why the corn pot has a slide bottom. The slide
bottom corn pot will need to be cleaned about once every 300 – 400 pounds of
corn (approx. 4 – 6 days). A white calcium-like deposit will be present in the
bottom of the fire pot. This deposit needs to be removed. We recommend
shutting off the unit by turning the on/off switch on the primary control to the
off position, letting the unit cool, and then pull the slide bottom completely out.
You may have to tap the top of the deposit to make it fall into the ash pan. We
would recommend purchasing an extra pot to make cleaning easier. Let
the pot cool completely to the touch and place into a bucket of water to
dissolve the clinker. DO NOT PLACE HOT POT IN WATER. You can also let
the pot sit in the air for 2-3 days then dump the residue out. DO NOT USE ANY
OBJECT TO POUND OUT THE CLINKER. THIS WILL DAMAGE YOUR POT. THERE
IS NO WARRANTY ON BURN POTS.
6. Place 1” of course oyster shell in the bottom of the pot before using. Under
heavy usage it may be necessary to remove the clinker daily. A bit of oyster
shell will be removed with the clinker. When all oyster shell has been removed,
remove pot for a thorough cleaning and replace with new pot, or clean and
replace oyster shell and pot.
