Country Flame HR-01 - Manual (Page 12)

Version 2.0b 12
THE HARVESTER OPERATION
FEATURES
Country Flame designed and built the Harvester stove to burn 100% shelled corn. Unlike conventional pellet
stoves, the Harvester is capable of handling larger amounts of ash. This means the Harvester can burn corn,
wood pellets, switchgrass pellets, and other biomass fuel while not being choked out by ash. Country Flame
customers who own the Harvester claim they have successfully burnt a wide variety of different biomass
fuels. Although Country Flame is pleased that customers are finding wide success in burning locally
available fuels, Country Flame cannot support or warranty the burning of untested fuel or seed corn in the
Harvester.
Before beginning to install or operate the Model HR-01 Harvester, please consult with the local building
authority to obtain a permit. A certified professional should install this product. Before a homeowner
operates this stove, a thorough operational understanding should be obtained from reading and understanding
this manual. Failure to adhere to all safety notes and instructions contained herein can impact homeowner
insurance, void warranty, and create hazardous situations leading to smoke damage, fire, or even death.
The Model HR-01 was designed as a freestanding model stove. The stove has optional legs or a pedestal
base. The legs come in a variety of finishes. Contact Country Flame or one of its local authorized dealers to
discuss and select product options. Once installed, the Harvester is remarkably simple and safe to operate.
FIGURE 1, shown without legs or pedestal, defines some of the Harvester components. From a relatively
small firebox the Harvester generates a very beautiful flame with lots of heat being produced into the room
where the unit is installed. Clean certified or AFPI approved fuel is to be loaded into the hopper. A motor
turns an auger that delivers fuel to the combustion chamber on a timed basis. Corn, pellets, or a combination
of any solid fuels can be fed into the Harvester burn pot.
