Hello there!
I just picked up the model posted in the title I haven't fired it up yet but I was reading through the manual and it stated a min of a 12' vertical flue, my question is, I will only have about 7' from the top of the stove up to the roof which I am replacing a wood stove and the vent is already in place. Will I have to extend another 5' up through the roof to get this stove to draft correctly? Also the manual says I can run corn by just changing the auger spacer but in the manual there is also a separate sheet with a hand written statement saying that a 50-50 mixture what are your guys thoughts on this?

Thanks
Bob

Thanks I will check it out. the corn question was kinda a secondary question I am more concerned about the flue issue. Not sure when I will try the corn mix. I want to make sure it will operate correctly first

Thanks

Bob

Thanks for the info, I fired it up last night, seemed to draft ok, I temporarily ran the 4" flue up the 8" black pipe I have for the wood stove and it didn't smoke back down but I did run it all the way up to the cap which is about 8'. I picked up a bag of pellets to use, On high it seems to run through the pellets, manual says 7lbs a hour, man that would start adding up if I was trying to heat the shop 24/7. With it being only a 62000 btu it might struggle if it was really cold outside my shop is insulated but not air tight and only with the blue insulate sheets that is 1 1/2 inch thick
