Pellets; Pellet Quality; Pellet Consumption; Factors Effecting Pellet Feed Rates - Dansons Group CC2 Owner's Manual

The performance of your pellet appliance is greatly affected by the type and quality of
wood pellets burned. As the heat output of various quality wood pellets differ, so will
the performance and heat output of your appliance.

PELLET QUALITY

VULCAN "V" Series
Your
quality wood pellets. Pellets that are soft, contain excessive amounts of loose sawdust, have been or are wet,
produce clinkers and/or heavy ash will result in reduced performance and may actually cause the fire to go out.

PELLET CONSUMPTION

Fuel consumption will vary somewhat between fuel brands and stoves. The following "ROUGH GUIDE" to pellet
usage's may be useful in assessing your stove's operation, in ordering fuel and in providing information to your

* Fuel flow and burn times quoted are approximate. And may vary with type of fuel used.

FACTORS EFFECTING PELLET FEED RATES

Generally, the smaller, harder and cleaner, free from fines the pellets are the faster they will feed at a given setting
and visa versa. The extremes in pellet size and quality can cause several hours difference in burning time for a 40
pound bag of pellets. Heat production is directly related to the pounds of fuel burned per hour. As fuel consumption
goes down so will heat output and visa versa. Pellet feed rate, at the same fuel settings, may vary greatly from
brand to brand and may vary somewhat from batch to batch within the same brand.

FINE TUNING THE PELLET FEED RATES

If the fire goes out at the LO (# 1) setting the pellets being used may not be feeding fast enough. Likewise if the fire
is too high, i.e. burning fuel at the LO (# 1) setting the pellets being used may be feeding too fast. The fuel feed
rate for each setting may be increased or decreased somewhat to accommodate different pellets
.
NOTE: Fine tuning the feed rates beyond the fuel settings provided, involves technical adjustments that you may
wish to have performed by an Authorized
adjustments.

ASH and CLINKERS

Ash is a by-product of all pellets. Clinkers may be produced from some pellets and not from others. High quality
pellets will produce less ash and fewer clinkers than lower quality pellets.
ASH is a natural product of burning wood. As the amount of ash in the wood increases the amount of ash left after
burning high ash wood pellets will increase.
