Soot and Fly Ash
Formation and Need for Removal- The products of 
combustionwillcontainsmallparticlesofyash.They
ash will collect in the exhaust venting system and restrict 
theowoftheuegases.Incompletecombustion,such
as occurs during startup, shutdown, or incorrect opera-
tion of the room heater will lead to some soot formation 
which will collect  in the exhaust  venting system. The 
stove should be cleaned after each ton of pellets (50 
bags) and the venting system inspected and cleaned  
yearly, after each heating season.
