PeLLetS
• As with corn, find a consistent pellet supplier. Pellets will
vary in content and burn characteristics from supplier
to supplier. A consistent supply of pellets will result in a
more consistent and efficient burn.
• Before burning, check the pellets for foreign objects.
The stove warranty will not cover damage done to the
stove due to foreign objects in the fuel supply.
• Store the pellets in a dry place to prevent them from
absorbing added moisture.
• To decrease dust build-up, the hopper will need to be
vacuumed out after every 6-8 bags of pellets—more
often if the pellets are poor quality. You may have to
screen each bag of pellets if dust becomes a problem.
• Wood pellets are generally produced out of wood
waste such as sawdust and shavings. The raw material
is dried, mechanically fractioned to size and extruded
under intense pressure into pellets. Wood pellets need
to be protected from direct water penetration. If exposed
to water droplets from condensation they will gradually
decompose and loose their effectiveness as a fuel. The
decomposition involves expanded volume, and over
time, a gradual chemical breakdown.
• Cherry Pits are the woody remains of processed
cherries. This fuel can be found affordably in regions
of the country that process cherries.
