THE CROSSFIRE-PELLET OPERATION
FEATURES
Country Flame designed and built the Crossfire-Pellet stove to burn 100% premium hardwood pellets. Unlike
conventional pellet stoves, the Crossfire was designed to handle large amounts of ash. Country Flame is
pleased that customers are finding wide success in burning locally available fuels but Country Flame cannot
support or warranty the burning of untested fuel in the Crossfire.
Before beginning to install or operate the Model CF-04 Crossfire, please consult with the local building
authority to obtain a permit and ensure a professional installs or certifies the installation of this product.
Before a homeowner operates this stove, a thorough operational understanding should be obtained from
reading and understanding this manual. Failure to adhere to all safety notes and instructions contained herein
can impact homeowner insurance, void warranty, and create hazardous situations leading to a smoke damage,
fire, or even death.
The Model CF-04 was designed as an insert only model stove. The Crossfire was designed to be installed
into an existing zero clearance fireplace or an existing masonry fireplace. Contact Country Flame or one of
its local authorized dealers to discuss and select possible options that are available for the Crossfire. Once
installed, the Crossfire is remarkably simple and safe to operate. FIGURE 1 and FIGURE 2 defines Crossfire
components. From a relatively small firebox the Crossfire generates a beautiful flame with lots of heat being
produced into the room where the unit is installed. Clean AFPI approved fuel is to be loaded into the hopper.
A motor turns an auger that delivers fuel to the combustion chamber on a timed basis.
