Refueling the Pelleteer is a little different than the initial lighting. After the burning pellets have become a thin bed of glowing embers of a couple of inches or so, drag them to the front of the basket. Now, fill the basket with pellets behind the burning embers. Let the pellet fuel cascade down the basket bottom and abut the embers at the front of the basket. Open the draft on your stove to allow enough air to bring the embers and new fuel to the point of combustion. Some smoking is normal, and can sometimes last several minutes before flames reappear. Be sure not to cover the top of the embers with pellets as this could cause undue smoldering. If there are not enough embers to light pellets, simply add starter block or Fatwood. Adjust the draft on your wood stove to avoid smoking and over firing as you normally would with a cord wood fire.
