Burning Solid Fuels, Wood Pellets | England's Stove Works 10-CDV

BURNING SOLID FUELS

Ashes will need to be removed from the unit periodically. See Ash Removal section. You can minimize cleaning required and maximize efficiency by maintaining the proper draft.

This unit has been designed to burn dry shelled corn or premium hardwood pellets that meet the association of pellet fuel industry standards.

Shelled corn (dry, preferably corn with 11-12% moisture content)

Never burn “deer corn” as it frequently contains molasses/sugars.

Store your corn supply in a dry place and keep bags or container sealed to prevent your corn from absorbing excess moisture. Test the moisture content regularly to ensure proper dryness.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT BURN “TREATED” SEED CORN IN YOUR STOVE. Seed corn is treated with chemical pesticides that are harmful or fatal if swallowed; therefore, seed corn is dangerous to have in the house, especially where children can reach it. Burning treated seed corn in your stove will void your warranty and will destroy the exhaust system on the unit.

WOOD PELLETS

As with corn, be consistent in your choice of wood pellet supplier. Pellets will vary in content and burn characteristics from supplier to supplier.

•Check your pellets for foreign objects. Your stove warranty will not cover any damage caused due to foreign objects in the fuel supply.

•Store your pellets in a dry place to prevent them from absorbing added moisture.

•To decrease sawdust buildup, the hopper will need to be vacuumed out after every 6-8 bags of pellets, or more often if the quality of the pellets are poor. You may need to screen each bag of pellets if the sawdust becomes a problem.

•Wood pellets vary in size and also ash content (from less than 1% to 3% or more). Your unit will burn more efficiently with small to mid-size pellets. Low ash content pellets will allow you to burn the stove longer between cleanings.

•Your unit is designed to burn pellets that are no larger than one-quarter inch (¼”) in diameter, and no longer than two and one-half inches (2 ½”) long.

CAUTION: DO NOT PLACE SUCH FUELS WITHIN THE SPACE HEATER’S INSTALLATION CLEARANCES OR WITHIN THE SPACE REQUIRED FOR CHARGING AND ASH REMOVAL.
