3. Installation

Installation of the Pellethead Two-Piece Burnpot is designed to be straightforward. However, it is recommended that installation be performed by an individual with mechanical aptitude. Always ensure your pellet stove is completely cool and disconnected from power before beginning any maintenance or installation.

Safety Precautions:

• Ensure the stove is unplugged and cool to the touch.
• Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves and eye protection.
• Refer to your stove's original manual for specific disassembly instructions.

General Installation Steps:

1. Preparation: Clear any ash or debris from the burn chamber.
2. Remove Old Burnpot: Carefully remove the existing burnpot from your pellet stove. Note its orientation and any securing mechanisms.
3. Inspect Area: Clean the area where the new burnpot will sit, ensuring no obstructions.
4. Install New Burnpot: Place the Pellethead Two-Piece Burnpot into position. Ensure it sits level and securely.
5. Check Fitment: Verify that the burnpot is properly seated and does not wobble. Some stove models may require minor adjustments or shimming to achieve a perfectly level fit. If your original burnpot had 'feet' and this replacement does not, you may need to add a small shim (e.g., a piece of 1/4-inch steel) under the front to ensure it sits level.
6. Reassemble: Reassemble any other components removed during the process.
7. Test: Once fully installed, plug in the stove and perform a test burn to ensure proper operation.

4. Maintenance

Regular maintenance of your burnpot is crucial for efficient and safe operation of your pellet stove. The Pellethead Two-Piece Burnpot is designed for easier cleaning.

Cleaning and Inspection:

• Daily/Weekly Cleaning: Depending on usage, regularly remove ash and clinkers from the burnpot. The two-piece design may allow for easier access and removal of debris.
• Monthly Inspection: Inspect the burnpot for any signs of wear, cracks, or warping. While designed for high temperatures, extreme operating conditions or prolonged use can eventually affect any component.
• Airflow Holes: Ensure all airflow holes in the burnpot are clear of ash or blockages to maintain proper combustion.

5. Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with your pellet stove after burnpot replacement, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Poor Burn/Inefficient Heat:
  • Check for proper seating of the burnpot; ensure it is level.
  • Verify that all air holes in the burnpot are clear.
  • Ensure the stove's exhaust system is clean and free of blockages.
• Excessive Ash/Clinkers:
  • This can indicate poor airflow. Re-check burnpot air holes and stove's air intake.
  • Consider the quality of pellets being used.
• Burnpot Warping:
  • While the burnpot is designed for high temperatures, continuous operation at excessively high settings or with certain pellet types can contribute to wear over time. Ensure your stove is operating within manufacturer specifications.

For persistent issues, consult your stove's original manual or contact Pellethead technical support.
