Products of Combustion
a. The main product of combustion is heat. This is what we are looking for.
b. Water in the form of condensation. This should be closely watched.
c. Flue gases. Flue temperatures will vary between 200 and 450 degrees.
d. Clinker & Ash residue.
Clinkers
The Patent Pending Burn System of a St. Croix Multi-Fuel stove will burn up all the
available fuel leaving only the clinker residue in the pot. This will cause the pot to
eventually fill up. The clinker removal system allows the clinker to be removed by
keeping the burning fuel suspended above the “Coal Rake” in the pot while the “slide Out
“bottom is pulled out to let the clinker drop into the ash pan. After closing the bottom of
the pot the coal rake is pulled back out of the stove and the burning fuel drops to the
bottom of a clean pot and the cycle repeats itself.
Burning “Poor Quality” Grain
Many times we are asked the question if damaged or moldy grain may be burnt in the
stove. We consider it an experimental approach to the use of our stoves. If it burns, then
go for it. If it doesn’t, find a source of clean corn with a moisture content of 15% or less.
Do not sell a stove to a customer planning to burn this type of fuel without explaining it
may not work.
