After your stove is installed and ready for use there will be a period of time where some adjustments may
be necessary to fi t your specifi c needs from the stove. We like to refer to this as “getting to know your stove”.
Each stove demonstrates its own unique personality based upon; type of pellet fuel, elevation, square footage
you are heating, barometric pressures, common wind currents, natural drafts within your home to name a few.
Specifi cally this means learning how often you will need to dump ashes, clear the secondary burn plate,
experiment with different brand pellets and determining what position the damper slide needs to be in to get
your specifi c desired results. After you have become familiar with the stove it is possible that you may need
to adjust the primary burn cage.
The primary burn basket that comes with every stove is sent out at a preset measurement. This measurement
fi ts most applications but sometimes a user will need to make an adjustment. This is simple to perform; we fi nd
the best tools for widening the basket is two chisels. For narrowing the spacing use a pair of pliers.
TUNING YOUR STOVE
The three black arrows indicate the three spaces where pellets drop through the basket and on to the
secondary burn plate. The minimum spacing should not be adjusted to less than .290 or on a tape measure
the closest mark would be just under the 19/64”mark. The maximum adjustment should not exceed .320 or just
over the 5/16” mark on a tape measure. Only make small adjustments at a time as you will discover a small
adjustment can result in a drastic temperature change. Narrowing will slow the pellet feed rate resulting in
lower running temperature. Widening will result in an increased pellet feed rate resulting in a higher running
temperature.
