Depending on the type of fuel you are burning will dictate 

how often you have to clean your firepot.  
If the fuel you are burning has a high dirt or ash content 

or you are burning shelled field corn, 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 2000°F (109°C) and becomes glass-like.  See 

“

D” page 32 in this section for more details on fuels with 

high ash content.
