COMMON QUESTIONS

Is a chimney required?

No. Pinnacle Corn Stoves are directly vented through any outside wall, or when used as a fireplace insert, directly out of an existing chimney.

How is the fire started?

The corn is ignited by using solid fire starter sticks or wood pellets and alcohol based fire starter gel.

Is there a thermostat?

The units are equipped with a manually controlled thermostat which regulates the amount of corn fed into the fire chamber, thereby controlling the temperature.

Does the room air blower have adjustable speed control?

Yes. The room blower is adjustable and may be regulated to match temperature and personal comfort levels.

Do Pinnacle Corn Stoves get hot on the top of the stove?

No. In fact, because of the hopper location in the top of the unit and the forced room air system, the top of the units remain cool to the touch.

What kind of maintenance is required?

Depending upon the temperature setting, at least once every 24 hours (sometimes twice if temperature settings are higher), a cinder forms in the fire box and must be removed with the provided clinker tool. The unit DOES NOT need to be extinguished to perform this operation. Normal daily maintenance requires about 3 minutes of time in order to remove the clinker and fill the unit with corn. Wiping the inside of the glass door with a dry rag or paper towel is also a good idea. About every 10 days to 2 weeks, the unit should be shut down and cleaned inside the fire chamber with a brush and then vacuumed out. This removes any dust residue deposits which can insulate the inside of the fire chamber and reduce heat efficiency. When cool, the glass may be cleaned with any type of glass cleaner.

Is there any smoke?

Pinnacle Corn Stoves burn 100% of the natural ingredients of the corn and emit no smoke.

How does it work?

The patented Pinnacle Corn Stove system consists of a forced air. auger fed configuration that allows high efficient operation and clean combustion of corn.

Will it burn wood pellets?

Because the system is designed to efficiently burn corn as the fuel, we do not recommend burning wood pellets. Corn burns 20% hotter by volume than wood and does not contaminate the unit with creosotes and varnishes inherent in wood burning systems.  WARNING!!!    Pellet stoves advertised as pellet/corn stoves DO NOT efficiently burn corn as a fuel.

How many BTU's in a pound of Corn?

Corn is approximately 9000 BTU per pound at 13% to 15% moisture content. Higher moisture content will result in reduced BTU output.
