Pellet Burning Tips
TIPS ON STARTING PELLET BURNING STOVE
The majority of pellet stoves are started automatically, but if your
starter should wear out in mid-season or if you have a manually
ignited stove here are some basic instructions. Keep in mind all
units are different, read your manual.
Pellet stoves can be started fairly easily using a variety of methods.
This method is perhaps the easiest and most recommended by major
manufacturers.
Take a measured amount of pellets from the hopper or a pellet bag.
With most pellet stoves you want to fill the burn pot 1/3 to 1/2
with pellets and apply a modest amount of the gelled alcohol to the
top of the pellets. Use a short wood stick to partially stir the
starter gel into the pellets and apply a second dollop of gel to the
top of the mix. Simply take a match and touch the top of the starter
load and close the door. Usually wait for about 30 seconds and start
your stove as per the manual.
