DISPOSAL OF ASHES
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a non-
combustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. When ashes are disposed by
burial in soil, or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in a closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
CREOSOTE
Creosote, or soot, is a tar-like substance. When burning, it produces black smoke with a residue which is also black in color. Soot
or creosote is formed when the appliance is operated incorrectly, such as: blockage of the combustion fan, failure to clean and
maintain the burn area, or poor air-to-fuel combustion.
It is dangerous to operate this appliance should the flame become dark, sooty, or if the burn pot is overfilled with pellets. When
ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot and uncontrolled fire, similar to a grease fire. Should this happen, turn the unit OFF,
let it cool completely, then inspect for maintenance and cleaning. It commonly accumulates along exhaust areas.
If creosote has formed within the unit, allow the unit to warm up at a low temperature, turn off the appliance, then wipe away
any formation with a hand towel. Similar to tar, it is much easier to clean when warm, as it becomes liquid.
CARBON MONOXIDE (“the silent killer”)
Burning wood chips gives off carbon monoxide, which has no odor and can cause death. Do not burn wood
chips inside homes, vehicles, tents, garages or any enclosed areas. Use only outdoors where it is well ventilated.
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas produced by burning gas, wood, propane, charcoal or other fuel. Carbon
monoxide reduces the blood’s ability to carry oxygen. Low blood oxygen levels can result in headaches, dizziness, weakness,
nausea, vomiting, sleepiness, confusion, loss of consciousness or death. Follow these guidelines to prevent this colorless, odorless
gas from poisoning you, your family, or others:
• See a doctor if you or others develop cold or flu-like symptoms while cooking or in the vicinity of the appliance. Carbon
monoxide poisoning, which can easily be mistaken for a cold or flu, is often detected too late.
• Alcohol consumption and drug use increase the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Carbon monoxide is especially toxic to mother and child during pregnancy, infants, the elderly, smokers, and people with blood
or circulatory system problems, such as anemia, or heart disease.
