BURNING SOLID FUELS
Ashes will have to be Removed from the stove periodically. See cleaning procedure. You can minimize cleaning required and maximize efficiency by maintaining the correct draft settings. See “Draft Setting” further in the manual.
The draft setting on your stove may have to be changed from time to time to accommodate your specific burning conditions. Proper draft setting will be discussed later in this manual. The point we wish to make here is that your American Harvest stove, due to the nature of solid fuels, will require brief periodic attention. Please do not expect to light your stove and walk away from it until you want to shut if off in the spring. A few moments of adjustment and cleaning from time to time is an important part of burning solid fuels, due to the vast differences in fuel, humidity and outside temperature.
The American Harvest stove has been designed to burn dry shelled corn, wood pellets and other pelletized fuels that meet Association of Pellet Fuel Industries standards.
