D. High Ash Fuel Content Maintenance

Frequency: As needed

By: Homeowner

Poor quality pellet fuel, or lack of maintenance, can create conditions that make the firepot fill quickly with ashes and clinkers.

This condition makes the appliance susceptible to overfilling the firepot with pellets which may result in smoking, sooting and possible hopper fires. Figure 16.1 shows an example where the firepot overfills, pellets back up into the feed tube and ash has accumulated in the firebox.

An inefficient and non-economical method of burning of fuel caused by poor quality pellet fuel is shown in Figure 16.2.

The correct flame size when good quality, premium pellet fuel is burned is shown in Figure 16.3.

If the ash buildup exceeds the half way point in the firepot

WARNING
