Pellet Burning Tips

TIPS ON STARTING A 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 very 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.
