The front top of the Fire lifts up for easy loading of fuel. 1. Parkwood Pellet Fires are simple and safe to use. A relatively small amount of fuel is burned in an extremely efficient firebox to provide a constant even heat. -
Page 8: Fuel Specifications
Because the heat output and ash content of various quality wood pellet fuel differs, this will considerably affect the performance and heat output of Fire. Parkwood Pellet Fires recommend that you burn only premium quality wood pellet fuel. Poor quality pellet fuel will result in excessive amounts of ash in the Burn Pot Liner, less than normal heat output and the firebox becoming black with carbon. -
Page 9: Safety & Rating Label Locations
