FAQ for Countryside
Was the Countryside designed to run on Corn?
Many companies are trying to convert wood pellet stoves
to burn corn or a corn, wood pellet mix. This stove was the
first nationally certified multi-fuel burning stove. This stove
can burn corn, wood pellets or a combination of corn and
wood pellets along with some other types of pellets such
as cherry pits or olive pits.
Does the Countryside have a self cleaning firepot?
Yes. The Countryside has a specially designed firepot so
that the ashes drop into the ash drawer below the stove
making it easy to use.
How does the Countryside vent?
The Countryside Stove vents out of the building through
side wall or a vertical termination. Exhaust piping needs to
be an “L” vent listed pipe.
Is the Countryside hard to install?
No. However we recommend that a factory trained dealer
install the stove so that proper installation is achieved. The
Countryside can be installed in about any location as long
as side wall or vertical termination is available.
Can you burn “seed corn” in the Countryside?
No. Seed corn is treated with chemical pesticides that are
harmful or fatal if swallowed; therefore, seed corn is
dangerous to have in the house, especially where children
can reach it.
What kind of clearance does the stove need?
The Countryside only needs a 1” clearance for the back,
side and corner. This takes the physical size of the stove
and makes it smaller because of the closeness of the
clearance requirements.
How safe is the Stove?
The Countryside Stove has many built in features to keep
the stove safe. Features such as: Low and High temp auto
shutdown, lid open safety switch and proper insulation, so
the stove top and on the 3 sides is cool to the touch.
