NOTE: When burning corn it is CRITICAL that you use
only clean dry corn (14% moisture content or below).
The drier & cleaner the fuel, the better. Have your
fuel at room temp. before filling hopper.
CRITICAL:
Residue such as fines (dust), husks, cobs or
stalk fragments will very likely cause uneven feed and
or cause auger jams.
Before proceeding, ensure that your air damper rod is
open between 3/16” & 1/2”, depending on moisture
content of corn and vent run.

To avoid problems, we strongly recommend screening
your corn.
1. Firmly press the START button, then OFF
2. Place 2 handfuls of wood pellets in the bottom of the grate. Proprietary starters or rolled up newspaper
may be used in the place of wood pellets, though they may not work as well.
3. Light the pellets and close the door part way until the pellets are burning briskly (7 to 9 minutes).
4. Close and latch the door securely and restart the system to feed fuel (turn the auger switch on if
applicable).
5. Turn the fuel feed to #3 setting for at least 30 minutes*. This is necessary to build up an adequate bed
of coals to maintain combustion at lower feed settings.
* NOTE: You may need to experiment with the length of time at #3 setting as different hybrids of
corn and moisture levels present different burn characteristics.
The pellets at startup must be burning very hot in order for the corn to ignite.
NOTE: To prevent grate overloading, you may not be able to operate the stove above fuel setting #3..
Start your stove with the Agritron Grate as follows:
6. If necessary, adjust the air damper (air intake) so that you have a brisk flame. See your owners manual
for additional information on this adjustment as it is critical that you have the proper air adjustment for
satisfactory burning
