HigherAshContentMaterial
• Hardwoodswithhighmineralcontent
• Barkandleavesassourcematerial
• “Standard”gradepelletsandotherbio-mass
LowerAshContentMaterial
• Softwood;pine,r,etc.
• Materialswithlowermineralcontent
• “Premium”gradepellets
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
Always 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owproperlythrough
thefeedsystem.

• 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
