9There are many varieties of corn grown around the world. Each variety has unique characteristics including the shape and size of the kernel. Your stove will burn more consistently with a small to mid-size kernel corn. If the kernel size of the corn varies greatly or if you switch sources frequently, you will get a less consistent burn, which will require more attention to the draft setting on your stove. Therefore, purchasing corn from the same source will help achieve a more consistent burn. DO NOT

USE CORN WITH A HIGH WAX CONTENT!

WOOD PELLETS

9As with corn, be consistent in your pellet supplier. Pellets will vary in content and burn characteristics from supplier to supplier. A consistent supply of pellets will require fewer adjustments to the draft of the stove.

9Check your pellets for foreign objects. Your stove warranty will not cover damage done to your stove due to foreign objects in the fuel supply.

9Store your pellets in a dry place to prevent them from absorbing excess moisture.

9Vacuum the hopper out after every 6-7 bags to eliminate buildup of sawdust. More often if the pellets are poor quality. If sawdust is a problem you will have to screen each bag of fuel for a consistent feed.

9Wood pellets vary from supplier to supplier in ash content from less than 1% to 3% or more. Low ash content pellets will allow you to burn the stove longer between cleanings. Only wood pellets manufactured to the Association of Pellet Fuel Industries (A.P.F.I.) standard for residential pellet fuels are recommended. Look for A.P.F.I. registration number on the back of pellets. Consult your local Countryside reseller for more information on approved wood pellet fuel.
