1. Types of Fuel
Depending on the type of fuel you are burning will dictate how
often you have to clean your fi repot.
If the fuel you are burning has a high dirt or ash content or you
are burning shelled fi eld corn, it may be necessary to clean the
fi repot more than once a day.
Dirty fuel will cause clinkers to form in the fi repot. A clinker is
formed when dirt, ash or a non-burnable substance is heated
to 2000
