9 There are many varieties of corn grown around the world. Each variety has unique characteristics
including the shape and size of the kernel. Your stove will burn more consistently with a small to
mid-size kernel corn. If the kernel size of the corn varies greatly or if you switch sources frequently,
you will get a less consistent burn, which will require more attention to the draft setting on your stove.
Therefore, purchasing corn from the same source will help achieve a more consistent burn. DO NOT
USE CORN WITH A HIGH WAX CONTENT!
WOOD PELLETS
9 As with corn, be consistent in your pellet supplier. Pellets will vary in content and burn
characteristics from supplier to supplier. A consistent supply of pellets will require fewer adjustments
to the draft of the stove.
9 Check your pellets for foreign objects. Your stove
warranty will not cover damage done to your stove due
to foreign objects in the fuel supply. Vacuum the
hopper to get rid of sawdust.
9 Store your pellets in a dry place to prevent them from
absorbing excess moisture.
9 Vacuum the hopper out after every 6-7 bags to
eliminate buildup of sawdust. More often if the
pellets are poor quality. If sawdust is a problem you
will have to screen each bag of fuel for a consistent
feed.
Inside of hopper
9 Wood pellets vary from supplier to supplier in ash content from less than 1% to 3% or more. Low ash
content pellets will allow you to burn the stove longer between cleanings. Only wood pellets
manufactured to the Association of Pellet Fuel Industries (A.P.F.I.) standard for residential pellet fuels
are recommended. Look for A.P.F.I. registration number on the back of pellets. Consult your local
MagnuM Countryside dealer for more information on approved wood pellet fuel.
