THE CROSSFIRE OPERATION
FEATURES
Country Flame designed and built the Crossfire stove to burn 100% shelled corn. Unlike conventional pellet
stoves, the Crossfire was designed to handle large amounts of ash. This means the Crossfire is capable of
burning corn or wood pellets while reducing the possibility of choking the fire from ash residue. Country
Flame is pleased that customers are finding wide success in burning locally available fuels but Country Flame
cannot support or warranty the burning of untested fuel in the Crossfire.
Before beginning to install or operate the Model CF-04 Crossfire, please consult with the local building
authority to obtain a permit and ensure a professional installs or certifies the installation of 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 a smoke damage,
fire, or even death.
The Model CF-04 was designed as a insert only model stove. The Crossfire was designed to be installed into
an existing zero clearance fireplace or an existing masonry fireplace. There are no leg or pedestal base
options for the Crossfire. Contact Country Flame or one of its local authorized dealers to discuss and select
possible options that are available for the Crossfire. Once installed, the Crossfire is remarkably simple and
safe to operate. FIGURE 1 and FIGURE 2 defines Crossfire components. From a relatively small firebox the
Crossfire generates a very beautiful flame with lots of heat being produced into the room where the unit is
installed. Clean 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 or pellet fuels can be fed into the Crossfire burn pot.
