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

SAFETY FEATURES The Harvester comes standard with a number of advanced safety features; however, the first step in ensuring maximum safety is to install the stove properly according to all national and local codes. The Harvester requires a fresh air supply. This fresh air is used in the combustion process to achieve thorough burn of all fuel. The Harvester needs a sealed and properly designed “all fuel” vent system. This vent system will be used to remove combustion gasses from the comb
