BURNING SOLID FUELS

Ashes need to be removed from the stove periodically.
See the "Normal Care & Maintenance" section for cleaning
procedure.
The parlor stove, due to the nature of solid fuels, will require
brief periodic attention. A few moments of adjustment and
cleaning from time to time is an important part of burning
solid fuels.
This parlor stove has been designed to burn dry shelled
corn, wood pellets and cherry pits.
SheLLeD Corn
• Corn must contain less than 14% moisture content.
Wet corn will rapidly deteriorate stove components,
reduce efficiency and void all warranties. Purchase a
moisture tester if in doubt.
• Corn must be clean and free from debris. Never burn
corn right from the field. Damage caused by dirty
corn is not covered by the product warranty. Ask for
screened corn only. Stalk parts, excessive fines and
cob remnants will clog the air flow holes in burn plate.
Check the corn for foreign objects.
• Store the corn supply in a dry place and keep the bags or
container sealed to prevent it from absorbing excess
moisture. Test the moisture content periodically to
ensure the proper dryness.
• There are many varieties of corn. Each variety has
unique characteristics including the shape and size
of the kernel. As corn characteristics change, the fuel
range may have to change accordingly. SEE FIGURE
