I'd really like to know where you got your information because I just re-read Quadra Fires boiler print warranty info. for the Mount Vernon AE and there is absolutely no mention to your warranty being null and void if you use an unapproved type of pellet. This is a multi fuel stove! It's made to be flashed for future fuels.... there manual even states to use Utility Pellet for any fuel that isn't specifically mentioned in the menu system.
Page one and page 24 of the users manual.
"Tested and approved for wood pellets, shelled field
corn, wheat and black oil sunflower seeds. Burning
of any other type of fuel voids your warranty."

Ok, fair enough! Two things though.... It's not listed in the boiler plate print of the warranty so I don't think it would be difficult to fight. And when I read that I think they are referring to using something other then pellets like coal, motor oil , uncompress wood, loose grass clippings, etc

Actually mainegeek,
The warranty boilerplate explicitly includes the installation and operation portions of the manual.
See page 55 warranty exclusions Damages resulting from (1) in particular
Hearth & Home Techonologies strongly recommends only
using Pellet Fuel Institute (PFI) certified fuel.
According to data from the Pellet Fuel Institute, pellets are a limitless fuel source. In additional to wood waste, pellet fuel can be manufactured from forest-thinning byproducts and other biomass ingredients

I think your in sorta new territory, so use a few modes and see what happens. Good luck! Thats an interesting mix and an interesting test. What kind of wood is the grass mixed with ?

If you try to get warranty coverage after using any fuel not specifically list you will more than likely find yourself SOL.
But hell it is your stove, your house, and your life, do whatever you want.
Those clauses are there for several reasons one is to protect the manufacturer from idiots doing dumb things and the other is because in most jurisdictions those instructions are legally the code and are there to protect you.
Doing things other than in that fine manual removes your installation from conforming to code. Talk to your homeowner insurance folks and see how well that goes over.

Are you implying that switch grass mixed with hardwood at 20-80 is bad for the Mt. Vernon?
