US Stove recommends using only PFI (Pellet Fuels Institute) certified premium hardwood pellets with a minimum density of 40 lbs per cubic foot. Do not burn corn, coffee pellets, cherry pits, or any other alternative fuels in this stove — it is designed and tested exclusively for wood pellets. Using non-approved fuels can void your warranty and create safety hazards.

This pellet stove requires 3" or 4" "PL" rated pellet venting products installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and CSA-B365 standards. The stove can be vented through an exterior wall using Metal-Fab® kits or similar approved pellet venting systems. Always follow local building codes and consult the owner's manual for clearance and installation requirements.

Yes, the AP5622-W is approved for installation in mobile homes and transportable buildings. However, a fresh air (outside air) kit is mandatory for mobile home installations, and the heater must be electrically grounded to the steel chassis of the mobile home. A fresh air kit is also recommended for newer airtight residential construction or homes with limited makeup air.

Pellet stoves require electricity to operate the auger, blowers, and ignition system. US Stove recommends having a backup power source available — at minimum a 1000W pure sine wave inverter battery backup for short outages, or a 1000W inverter generator for longer power loss situations. Never operate the stove without proper venting active, and follow the manual's guidance if smoke spills into the room during an outage.

For best performance, the burn pot should be emptied and cleaned before each ignition, and inspected daily during continuous use. The hopper, flue pipe, and clean-out plates should be checked regularly and cleaned as needed to prevent vacuum issues and ensure proper combustion. Routine maintenance keeps efficiency high and extends the life of the stove.

Yes. Because the AP5622-W exceeds 75% efficiency, it qualifies for the 30% IRS Section 25(C) Residential Energy Tax Credit, allowing eligible homeowners to claim 30% of the purchase and installation costs (up to the annual limit) on their federal income tax return. Save your receipts and consult a tax professional to claim this credit.
