1.Types of Fuel

Depending on the type of fuel you are burning will dictate how often you have to clean your firepot.

If the fuel you are burning has a high dirt or ash content or you are burning shelled field corn, it may be necessary to clean the firepot more than once a day.

Dirty fuel will cause clinkers to form in the firepot. A clinker is formed when dirt, ash or a non-burnable substance is heated to 2000°F (1093°C) and becomes glass-like. See “C” page 31 in this section for more details on fuels with high ash content.
