Buying Corn:
Use clean shelled feed corn with 14% or less moisture content only. Buy corn in bulk or bagged from feed stores,
elevators or direct from a farmer. Corn with 11-12% moisture content works best.

1.) Fill hopper with corn.
2.) Set damper to first notch.
3.) Rotate Heat Setting to #1.
4.) Place Mode Selector to Start.
5.) Place crumbled fire starter blocks in corn pot, light with match and close the door.
6.) Use Feed Control to manually prime the corn into the fire pot.

Selector switch to Run.
8.) Rotate Heat Setting to desired setting.
