encountered. Higher operation settings provide 

for warmer flue temperatures, which help to 

keep moisture suspended in the flue gases.

Inspection and Maintenance: When burning 

corn, be sure to inspect the appliance and 

vent often to determine if there has been any 

corrosion or damage to the system. Be sure 

to keep the venting system clean, including 

the tee cap (if applicable). The ash that results 

from burning corn can trap condensate in 

the tee cap and inside the vent, hastening 

corrosion to the system if left unchecked.  

Using pelletized fuel does not eliminate the 

need for inspection and cleaning.  Lesser 

quality pellets create more soot accumulation 

and can clog venting sooner than the cleaner 

burning pellets. While it is not necessary to 

clean out liquid fuel burning systems with a 

brush, all other systems should be visually 

inspected monthly during the heating season, 

and cleaned at least once a year
