How to start a pellet stove?
- First off fill your hopper with the proper pellets and then turn on your stove auger allowing pellets to fall into the “pot” where they can burn..
Make sure to turn the auger off to prevent more pellets dropping while starting.
- Next you’ll need to open your pot door and add fuel to ignite the pellets ( gel or a physical starter). Next light the stove like you would a grill, using a long butane lighter. Once the pellets are ignited close your pot burn door.
- Wait for all the pellets to be fully ignited; they turn red around the edges when burning. It may take a few minutes for all the pellets to catch on fire.
- Lastly turn on your blower and auger allowing more pellets to fall and push the hot air into your RV to keep you nice and cosy.
