Yesterday I was filling the hoppers on the stoves with shells for the days burn and decided to snap a picture.
The material in this picture is a lot finer than I usually use but is representative of what I use to heat with.
One supplier runs all the waste materials out to the main silo where it goes through a trash fan and is blown into the silo.
The other processing plant runs the waste materials through a grinder before it goes to the silo.
The material shown is a lot more "meally" than what I really like.
The Advantage really runs well on the fine materials without the need for daily cleaning of the fire pot.
The windows stay clean (as clean as they ever did on pellets) and the shells slide out nicely across the added "scatter bar" (I added to assist the material getting sewn across the fire)
Here is a Piccy of the hopper all nice and full and a piccy of the fire box with the fire in the low setting.
Usually we run this stove on the number 1 setting for most days.
This setting makes a nice warm fire and will maintain the room temp without the stove running at really high temps.
I use 2 for a quick warmup if the house is cold.
More than this builds a raging inferno .
