PELLET QUALITY
Pellet quality is important, please read the following:
Pellet quality is a major factor in how the Pellet stove will operate.
If the pellets have a high moisture or ash content the fire will be
less efficient and has a higher possibility of the fire building up and
creating clinkers (hard ash build-up).

less efficient and has a higher possibility of the fire building up and

Your Greenfire Pellet Stove has been designed to burn wood
pellets only. Do not use any other type of fuel, as this will void any
warranties stated in this manual.

warranties stated in this manual.
The performance of your pellet stove is greatly affected by the type
and quality of wood pellets being burned. As the heat output of
various quality wood pellets differs, so will the performance and
heat output of the pellet stove.

CAUTION: It is important to select and use only pellets that are dry
and free of dirt or any impurities such as high salt content. Dirty fuel will
adversely affect the operation and performance of the unit and will void
the warranty. The Pellet Fuel Industries (P.F.I.) has established standards
for wood pellet manufacturers. We recommend the use of pellets that
meet or exceed these standards. Ask your dealer for a recommended
pellet type.

P.F.I. PELLET STANDARDS:
Fines (fine particles)......1% maximum through a 1/8" screen
Bulk Density.................. 40 pound per cubic foot minimum
Size.............................. 1/4” - 5/16” diameter 1/2" - 1-1/2" long maximum
Ash Content ..................1% maximum (Premium grade)
..................3% maximum (Standard grade)
Moisture Content...........8% maximum
Heat Content.................approximately 8200 Btu per pound minimum

ASH: The ash content of the fuel and operation of your stove will directly
determine the frequency of cleaning. The use of high ash fuels may
result in the stove needing to be cleaned daily. A low ash fuel may allow
longer intervals between cleaning.

result in the stove needing to be cleaned daily. A low ash fuel may allow
longer intervals between cleaning.
CLINKERING: Clinkers are silica (sand) or other impurities in the
fuel that will form a hard mass during the burning process. This hard
mass will block the air flow through the Burn Pot Liner and affect the
performance of the stove. Any fuel, even approved types, may tend to
clinker. Check the Burn-Pot Liner daily to ensure that the holes are not
blocked with clinkers. If they become blocked, remove the liner (when
the unit is cold) and clean/scrape the clinkers out. Clean the holes with
a small pointed object if required. Refer to the section Routine Cleaning
and Maintenance.

PELLET FEED RATES: Due to different fuel densities and sizes, pellet
feed rates may vary. This may require an adjustment to the slider damper
setting or to the auger feed trim setting on low.

The stove's exhaust system works with negative combustion chamber
pressure and a slightly positive chimney pressure. It is very important
to ensure that the exhaust system be sealed and airtight. The ash pan
and viewing door must be locked securely for proper and safe opera-
tion of the pellet stove.

tion of the pellet stove.
Do not burn with insuffi cient combustion air. A periodic check is recom-
mended to ensure proper combustion air is admitted to the combustion
chamber. Setting the proper combustion air is achieved by adjusting
the slider damper located on the left side of the stove.

When installing the stove in a mobile home, it must be electrically grounded
to the steel chassis of the home and bolted to the fl oor. Make sure that
the structural integrity of the home is maintained and all construction
meets local building codes.
