This is the ‘pot’ where the pellets are burned. Only clean when the unit is cold.
Note: If, after long periods of burning, the fire continually builds up and overflows the burn pot or there

is a build up of clinkers, this is an indication that the pellet fuel quality is poor or the stove may need

cleaning. Check the stove for ash build up (clean if required) and adjust the combustion air trim and if

required the slider/damper to produce the proper clean combustion.
