Your Multi-fuel heater, due to the nature of solid fuels, will require brief periodic attention. Please do not expect to light your heater and walk away from it. A few moments of adjustment and cleaning is an important part of burning solid fuels, due to the vast differences in fuel, humidity and outside temperature.

The Multi-fuel heater has been designed to burn dry shelled corn, wood pellets and other pelletized fuels that meet As- sociation of Pellet Fuel Industries standards.
