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.
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.
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 Countryside reseller for more information on approved wood pellet fuel.
When you receive your Countryside Corn/Pellet Stove, Leg unit or Fireplace Insert, be careful to
inspect all parts and components to make sure that nothing was damaged or lost in shipment. If there was
shipping damage, be sure to report it to your Countryside reseller, or the shipping company that delivered
your unit. Freight damage claims must be made to the Freight Company immediately.
If parts are
missing contact your local Countryside reseller or contact the factory right away. Your satisfaction is
our top priority.
To uncrate your Countryside Corn/Pellet Stove:
1) Cut the banding straps and open the carton lid. The carton is stapled to the wood pallet so it will be
necessary to pull the cardboard loose from the pallet. Remove the crating box carefully lifting up over
the top of the unit. Be careful not to scratch the unit with the staples. Remove the wood blocks and
plastic. We strongly urge you to recycle the packaging materials to help protect the environment.
