Maintenance & Service

A. Proper Shutdown Procedure
C. General Maintenance
Types of Fuel
The type of fuel you are burning will dictate how often you have
to clean your burnpot.
If the fuel you are burning has a high dirt or ash content it may
be necessary to clean the burnpot more than once a day.
Dirty fuel will cause clinkers to form in the burnpot. A clinker is
formed when dirt, ash or a non-burnable substance is heated
to 2000°F (1093°C) and becomes glass-like.
When properly maintained, your stove will give you many
years of trouble-free service.
