Ashby Insert Series
The Ashby Series of Inserts uses 2 of the Burn Systems we currently use in our Stove Line. The
Ashby-P uses the Versa Grate System. The Ashby-MF uses the Multi-Fuel System
Control Board
This version of the board has two Programs that work for the Versa Grate System and two
Programs that work with the Multi-Fuel System.
Before lighting the Insert for the first time, be sure to choose the correct program.
There are 4 different Programs on the board to choose from depending on the choice of
fuel (Pellets, Corn Wheat, Rye, Cherry Pits or Distiller’s Grain Pellets). They are also to
be used to when having difficulty with poor quality fuel. If a fuel is high in Ash Content
for instance, a program with a longer Cycle Time should be used if the pot is
overloading. To change a program several steps must be followed:
1 - The unit must be OFF and cooled down (P.O.F. Switch must be open)
2 – The Thermostat Slide Switch must be in Manual Mode.
3 – Press and Hold the Auger Feed Button and at then press the High and Low Draft
Trim Buttons at the same time. You will see all five LED lights on the Heat Level Bar
light up at the same time.
Program 1. The Cycle Time is 11.5 seconds. This program
will be the default program when the Ashby is first plugged
in. This program does not offer self ignition. This program
is for use with Pellets, Corn, Wheat and Rye, Cherry Pits &
Distillers Grain Pellets in the Ashby-MF.
Program 2. The Cycle Time is 13 seconds. This program
does not offer self ignition. This program is for use with
Pellets, Corn, Wheat and Rye, Cherry Pits & Distillers Grain
Pellets in the Ashby-MF.
Program 3. The Cycle Time is 11.5 seconds. This Program
offers Self-Ignition and is only for units that have the
Versa Grate system & Igniter installed. This program is for
use with Pellets & Cherry Pits in the Ashby-P.
Program 4. The Cycle Time is 10 seconds. This Program
offers Self-Ignition and is only for units that have the
Versa Grate system & Igniter installed. This program is for
use with Cherry Pits in the Ashby-P.
As the Cycle Time increases, the feedrate decreases. If the
incorrect program is chosen for a specific fuel, the burnpot will
overload. Use caution when using this feature. The default
programs to use are Program 1 (For Multi-Fuel Units) and
Program 3 (For the Versa Grate System). The other programs
are for “Tweaking” the units for different fuel and installation
conditions.
The Ashby Installation and Operations Manual gives detailed instructions on how to operate
the unit. To avoid duplicating the information, please read the Ashby manual thoroughly.
