XXV Pellet Stove

Pellet fuel quality  can fluctuate from manufacturer  to 

manufacturer, and even from bag to bag. 

Hearth  &  Home  Technologies  recommends  using  only 

fuel that is certified by the Pellet Fuels Institute (PFI).
Fuel Material

•  Made from sawdust and/or other wood by-products

•  Shelled field corn (when mixed with wood pellets)

•  Source material typically determines ash content
Higher Ash Content Material

•  Hardwoods with high mineral content

•  Bark and leaves as source material

•  "Standard" grade pellets, corn and other biomass
Lower Ash Content Material

•  Softwood; pine, fir, etc.

•  Materials with lower mineral content

•  "Premium" grade pellets
Shelled field corn

•  Must be 15% moisture content or less

•  Must be clean and free of debris

•  Must be mixed with wood pellets. (Up to 50%)

•  Stalk parts, excessive fines and cob remnants may 

cause feed system jams or blockage

•  May cause hopper fire

•  Damage to product may result

Read the list of ingredients on the packaging. If you are 

buying field corn, the only ingredient listed should be field 

corn.

Do NOT burn treated seed corn

•  Chemical pesticides are harmful or fatal if swallowed

•  Burning  treated  seed  corn  will  void  the  product 

warranty

Clinkers

Minerals  and  other  non-combustible  materials,  like 

sand,  will  turn  into  a  hard  glass-like  substance  when 

heated. 

Trees  from  different  areas  will  vary  in  mineral  content. 

For this reason, some fuels will produce more clinkers 

than others.
Moisture

.125Always burn dry fuel. Burning fuel with high moisture 

content  takes  energy  to  dry  and  tends  to  cool  the 

appliance  thus,  robbing  heat  from  your  home.  Damp 

pellet fuel could turn back into sawdust which does not 

flow properly through the feed system.

Size

•  Pellets  are  either  1/4  inch  or  5/16  inch  (6-8mm)  in 

diameter

•  Length should be no more than 1-1/2 inches (38mm)

•  Pellet length can vary from lot to lot from the same 

manufacturer 

Performance

•  Higher  ash  content  requires  more  frequent 

maintenance.

•  "Premium"  grade  pellets  will  produce  the  highest 

heat output.

•  Burning pellets longer than 1-1/2 inches (38mm) can 

cause inconsistent feeding and/or ignition.

We  recommend  that  you  buy  fuel  in  multi-ton  lots 

whenever possible. However, we do recommend trying 

different  brands  prior  to  purchasing  multi-ton  lots,  to 

ensure your satisfaction.
CAUTION!  Attempting  to  burn  fuels  such  as  charcoal 

the appliance safety label.
When changing from wood pellets to a corn/pellet mixture, 

the FEED ADJUSTER will likely need adjusted to a lower 

setting. When under maximum demand, ensure there is 

no unburned fuel being pushed into the ash pan.
Storage

•  Wood  pellets  should  be  left  in  their  original  sealed 

bag until ready to use, to prevent moisture.

•  Shelled  corn  should  be  stored  in  a  tightly  sealed 

container to prevent moisture and to deter pests

•  Do not store fuel within the specified clearance areas, 

or in a location that will interfere with routine cleaning 

and maintenance procedures.

Tested and approved for use with wood pellets and a 

mixture of shelled field corn and wood pellets ONLY. 

Burning of any other fuel will void your warranty.

Hearth & Home Technologies is not responsible for 

stove  performance  or  extra  maintenance  required 

as a result of using fuel with higher ash or mineral 

content.
