

Usingtheproperfuelwillhaveatremendousimpactoftheperformanceofyour

stove.WehighlyrecommendthatyouonlyusePFI(PelletFuelsInstitute)

approvedpellets.IfapellethasbeenPFIapprovedyouwillseethePFIlogo

prominentlydisplayeduponthebag.



Factory‐approvedpelletsare

those¼”or5/16”indiameterandnotover1”long.

Longerorthickerpelletssometimesbridgetheaugerflights,whichpreventsproper

pelletfeed.Thedesignofthestoveincorporatesautomaticfeedofthepelletfuelintothefireata

carefullyprescribedrate.Thestove’sperformancedependsheavilyon

thequalityofyourpelletfuel.

Avoidpelletbrandsthatdisplaythesecharacteristics:



a. ExcessFines–“Fines”isatermdescribingcrushedpelletsorloosematerialthatlookslike

sawdustorsand.Pelletscanbescreenedbeforebeingplacedinhoppertoremovemostfines.

b. Binders–Somepelletsareproducedwithmaterialstoholdthetogether,or“bind”them.

c. Highashcontent–Poorqualitypelletswilloftencreatesmokeanddirtyglass.Theywillcreatea

needformorefrequentmaintenance.Youwillhavetoemptytheburnpotplusvacuumtheentire

systemmoreoften.Poorqualitypelletscoulddamagetheauger.GoldenEaglecannotaccept

responsibilityfordamageduetopoorqualitypellets.Yourdealercanrecommendagoodquality

pelletdealerinyourarea.
