D. Fuel Material and Fuel Storage
Pellet fuel quality can greatly fluctuate.
This appliance
has been designed to burn a wide variety of fuels, giving
you the choice to use the fuel that is most economical in
your region.
Hearth & Home Technologies strongly recommends only
using Pellet Fuel Institute (PFI) certified fuel.
Fuel Material
• Made from sawdust or wood by-products
• Depending on the source material it may have a high or
low ash content.
Higher Ash Content Material
• Hardwoods with a high mineral content
• Fuel that contains bark
• Standard grade pellets, high ash pellets, corn and other
biomass fuels
Lower Ash Content Material
• Most softwoods
• Fuels with low mineral content
• Most premium grade pellets
Corn
• Moisture content must be 15% or less
• Corn must be free of debris. Never burn corn straight
from the field. It will clog the auger mechanism.
• Corn with excessive grain dust must be screened by
sifting with 3/16 (4.76mm) inch mesh screening
• Do no sue corn that contains additives such as oils or
means or has been chemically treated with pesticides. It
