To INCREASE fuel rate turn trimmer COUNTER CLOCKWISE and to LOWER turn CLOCKWISE. To assist in knowing what changes you made, you should note the amount of time the light on the AUGER CYCLE stays “OFF”. (Note: The light stays “off” when ever the fuel feed motor is not running). Lengthening the time this light stays “OFF” lowers the fuel feed and shortening the “OFF” time increases the fuel feed. Factory Setting #1 light “OFF” is approx. 9-11 seconds, #4 light “OFF” is 3-4 seconds.

PELLET FUEL The performance of your pellet appliance is greatly affected by the type and quality of wood pellets burned. As the heat output of various quality wood pellets differ, so will the performance and heat output of your appliance. PELLET QUALITY Your Cheap Charlie stove, with its standard “Super Grate”, is designed to burn APFI/FFI, "Premium" or "Standard" quality wood pellets. Pellets that are soft, contain excessive amounts of loose sawdust, have been or are wet, produce clinkers and/or heavy ash will result in reduced performance and may actually cause the fire to go out. PELLET CONSUMPTION Fuel consumption will vary somewhat between fuel brands and stoves. The following "ROUGH GUIDE" to pellet usage's may be useful in assessing your stove's operation, in ordering fuel and in providing information to your Authorized Cheap Charlie Dealer. Fuel Rate Setting… Setting Approximate Burn Time on 120 lb. hopper 300 lb. hopper Amount of pellets burned 1 40 – 80 hours 100 – 200 hours 1.50 to 3.00 lbs. Per hour 2 35 – 48 hours 86 – 120 hours 2.50 to 3.50 lbs. Per hour 3 27 – 35 hours 86 – 67 hours 3.50 to 4.50 lbs. Per hour 4 22 – 30 hours 55 – 75 hours 4.00 to 5.50 lbs. Per hour * Fuel flow and burn times quoted are approximate. And may vary with type of fuel used. FACTORS EFFECTING PELLET FEED RATES Generally, the smaller, harder and cleaner, free from fines the pellets are the faster they will feed at a given setting and visa versa. The extremes in pellet size and quality can cause several hours difference in burning time for a 40 pound bag of pellets. Heat production is directly related to the pounds of fuel burned per hour. As fuel consumption goes down so will heat output and visa versa. Pellet feed rate, at the same fuel settings, may vary greatly from brand to brand and may vary somewhat from batch to batch within the same brand. FINE TUNING THE PELLET FEED RATES If the fire goes out at the LO (# 1) setting the pellets being used may not be feeding fast enough. Likewise if the fire is too high, i.e. burning fuel at the LO (# 1) setting the pellets being used may be feeding too fast. The fuel feed rate for each setting may be increased or decreased somewhat to accommodate different pellets . NOTE: Fine tuning the feed rates beyond the fuel settings provided, involves technical adjustments that you may wish to have performed by an Authorized Cheap Charlie Dealer. There may be a service charge for these adjustments. ASH and CLINKERS Ash is a by-product of all pellets. Clinkers may be produced from some pellets and not from others. High quality pellets will produce less ash and fewer clinkers than lower quality pellets. ASH is a natural product of burning wood. As the amount of ash in the wood increases the amount of ash left after burning high ash wood pellets will increase. Copyright 2004 24 Cheap Charlie Owner’s Manual Canadian Comfort Industries Dansons Group Inc. ASH AND CLINKERS …. CONTINUED CLINKERS are those solid, glassy or porous accumulations that may result from burning some types of wood pellets. Clinkers are formed in the bottom of the burn grate and if left undisturbed will accumulate and shut off the combustion air. As clinkers grow and shut off combustion air the fire becomes orange/brown and lazy. Pellets may build up in the burn grate. The firebox and window becomes sooty. Exhaust gases may become smoky. Cheap Charlie heaters come complete with the “Super Grate” burn grate. This grate reduces the amount of clinkers formed by lower quality pellets. If ashes are quickly blown out of the grate they cannot easily stay in one spot, heat up to the melting point and fuse into a clinker. Clinkers form when pellets are of such poor quality their ashes contain minerals that easily melt under high firebox temperatures, are not blown out of the grate, and stay there until larger and larger clinkers are produced. Since wood and the methods of handling wood used in making pellets can vary from plant to plant and year to year some clinkering must always be expected. Stove owners without an “SUPER” grate must remove clinkers manually, some times several times a day. Stove owners using an “SUPER” grate and quality pellets may experience days or even weeks of burning without the need to remove any clinkers from the grate. FINES FINES i...
