St. Croix Stoves with the Multi-Fuel Burn System – Models
include: Auburn, Greenfield and Lancaster.
There are 2 Multi-Fuel stove configurations that we offer; the Freestanding stove and Insert stove,
all of which produce similar heat output BTU ratings.
St. Croix Stoves with the Multi-Fuel Burn System are approved to burn Corn, Pellets, Cherry
Pits, Wheat, Rye and Distiller’s Grain Pellets. Cherry Pits, Corn, Wheat & Rye are limited to
regional areas in the country where these fuels are readily available. Grain must have a moisture
content of 15% or less. The presence of large quantities of grain dust, pieces of stalk or pieces
of cobs too large to fit through the auger system will cause problems in the feed system.
Cherry Pits have higher Ash Content and will increase the Daily Maintenance. There are no
Standards covering Corn, Wheat, Rye or Cherry Pits to be used as a fuel. Buyer beware
when purchasing these fuels.
The St. Croix Multi-Fuel system is Patent Pending, producing high efficiency ratings that
completely burn the fuel until only the clinker remains. The burn system allows the Clinker to be
removed without loosing the fire in the burnpot.
All St. Croix Multi-Fuel stoves have been safety tested to the following standards, where they
apply:
LISTED CORN, WHEAT, RYE, PELLET, CHERRY PITS & DISTILLERS GRAIN BURNING
SPACE HEATER. ALSO SUITABLE FOR MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION. TESTED PER
UL 1482/ULC S628/APFI/ASTM E 1509-04 and CAN/CSA B415.1-00 THIS APPLIANCE
HAS BEEN TESTED AND LISTED FOR USE IN MANUFACTURED HOMES IN
ACCORDANCE WITH OREGON ADMINISTRATIVE RULES 814-23-900 THROUGH 814-
23-909
The following three fans/motors are standard in all St. Croix Multi Fuel Stove models, they are
the: Combustion Exhaust Fan, Room Air Fan and the Auger Motor.
The new Digital control Board enhances the reliability of stove performance and also increases
the simplicity of customer operations. The stove requires a 120 Volt AC power source and draws
a nominal current value of 3 Amps during normal operation. The addition of diagnostic features
to the control board allows problems to be quickly identified and direct the service person to the
area of the stove needing service. The St. Croix Digital Control Board also offers a Thermostat
feature. The unit drops to a low burn setting if the thermostat is not calling for heat. Wireless
remote programmable Thermostat systems can also be used.
The stove operates using a top feed auger system; where the fuel isstored in a 40 to 90 pound
hopper, then auger driven up through the auger tube and gravity dropped from the drop tube into
the Burn Pot. The stove also operates using a negative pressure system, where exhaust gases are
being expelled through the exhaust port at a faster rate than which fresh air can be delivered into
the inlet port. Since an internal negative pressure system exists, the potential for smoke and other
hazardous gases escaping from within the firebox and out into the room have been considerably
decreased in comparison to a positive pressure system. The reason for this is that when using a
negative pressure system, room air actually wants to be pulled into the firebox as opposed to a
positive pressure system, where exhaust gases are being forced from the firebox and
potentially into the room.
