Any blockage of the air supply to or from the stove will seriously degrade its performance and will be evidenced by a smoking exhaust and a sooting window. For best operation, the ash content of the pellet fuel should be less than 1% and the calorific value approximately 8,200 BTU/LB. Others fuels with a high ash content will require a higher levels of maintenance and cleaning.

Commercial and industrial installations of the Drolet ECO-65 should not be used since operational control is often not well managed in these settings.
