Your success with zone heating will depend on several factors: Proper stove size, stove location,
heating area, house layout and insulation and your climate zone.

5.2 Combustible

5.2.1 Proper Fuel

Each type of pellet has its properties and will burn differently. The amount of ashes produced can
also vary greatly. Factory-approved pellets are those ¼" or 5/16" in diameter and not over 1" long.
Longer or thicker pellets will prevent proper pellet feed.
The bottom-feed system of this stove is designed and tested specifically for use with four different
types of pellets: standard wood pellets, 100% bark pellets, sawdust/hay mix pellets and switch
grass pellets.

5.2.2 Where to Store Bags of Pellets

We recommend that you store your bags of pellets in a dry and well ventilated area if possible.
Using dry pellets will increase the performance of your stove. You may want to have a bag or two
in the same room as your stove for refueling but make sure to respect the minimum clearances to
combustible materials and the space required for refilling and ash removal.
