Priming the Auger in Your Pellet Stove

PRIMING THE AUGER

TIP- If and when your pellet stove runs completely empty of fuel/pellets, it may take 2-5 minutes of running to “PRIME ” the auger again depending on the model.

TRY- Before starting, put a small handful of pellets in the fire-pot. Add pellets to your stoves hopper and then turn on your stove. By the time the pellets burn up in your fire-pot your auger should be primed and your stove should start to drop pellets in the fire-pot with a seamless transition.

{Note: This is only a suggestion for automatic starting stoves. Every stove is different, if you have questions or want specifics based on your model please contact us.}
