• ade from sawdust andor other wood by-products
• Shelled eld corn (when mixed with wood pellets)
• Source material typically determines ash content
Higher Ash Content aterial
• Hardwoods with high mineral content
• Bark and leaves as source material
• Standard grade pellets, corn and other biomass
Lower Ash Content aterial
• Softwood pine, r, etc.
• aterials with lower mineral content
• Premium grade pellets
Shelled eld corn
• ust be 15 moisture content or less
• ust be clean and free of debris
• ust be mixed with wood pellets. (Up to 50)
• Stalk parts, excessive nes and cob remnants may
cause feed system ams or blockage
CAUTION! Do not burn fuel that contains an additive;
(such as soybean oil)
• ay cause hopper re
• amage to product may result

• Burning treated seed corn will void the product warranty
Clinkers
inerals and other non-combustible materials, like sand,
will turn into a hard glass-like substance when heated.
Trees from different areas will vary in mineral content. or
this reason, some fuels will produce more clinkers than
others.
oisture
Always burn dry fuel. Burning fuel with high moisture
content takes energy to dry and tends to cool the appliance
thus, robbing heat from your home. amp pellet fuel could
turn back into sawdust which does not ow properly through
the feed system.

a mixture of shelled eld corn and wood pellets ONLY.
Burning of any other fuel will void your warranty.

performance or extra maintenance required as a result of
using fuel with higher ash or mineral content.

diameter
• Length should be no more than 1-12 inches (8mm)
• Pellet length can vary from lot to lot from the same
