C. General Maintenance
1. Types of Fuel
Depending on the type of fuel you are burning and how
long you run the fire will dictate how often you have to
clean your firepot.
If the fuel you are burning has a high dirt or ash content,
it may be necessary to clean the firepot more than once a
day.
Dirty fuel will cause
clinkers to form in the
firepot. A clinker is formed
when dirt, ash or a non-
burnable substance is
heated to >1000°C and
becomes glass-like. See
"D" page 16 more details
on fuels with high ash
content.
