COMBUSTIBLES

Recommended Pellets

Type: Wood pellet, premium grade or better, certified by PFI, Enplus or CANplus.
Size:
Diameter between ¼" or 5/16" and not over 1" long. Longer or thicker pellets will affect the
constancy of pellet feed. The pellets length may vary from one lot to another, even if it comes from the
same manufacturer.
Short pellets
Ash content:
Less than 1%. Ash contents more than 1% will increase maintenance frequency, create
combustion problems and will increase the stove emission.
Moisture content:
Wet pellets will be very hard to ignite and will greatly affect the feeding process of the
stove. Using dry pellets will maintain the performance of your stove.
Note that the pellets quality may vary depending on the manufacturer. It can also vary from
one bag to another, even if it comes from the same manufacturer. It is recommended to
try several different manufacturers to find the one that best suits your use. Then, buy the
pellets in lots of several tons to ensure satisfaction.
Burning other types of pellets is prohibited. This will negatively affect polluting emissions,
it violates the building codes for which the stove has been approved and will void the
warranty.

Storage

Pellets should remain in their original packaging until ready for use.
Pellets bags should be stored in a dry and well ventilated area, if possible. If they are to be stored
outside, remember that pellets bags are not water tight. It is best to keep the pallet wrapper as intact
as possible and cover it with a tarp.
Having a bag or two in the same room as the stove for refueling is a good idea. The minimum
clearances to combustible materials and the space required for refilling and ash removal needs to be
respected.
DO NOT STORE FUEL WITHIN STOVE MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLE.
