Corn and other biofuels have higher water content than wood pellets. When water combines in the flue with elements in corn like sulfur, nitrogen, and phosphorus, condensation is highly acidic. Acids cause common pellet liners made of 430, 304, and 316 stainless steels to corrode. All PelletVent Pro® components that come into contact with flue gases are built with an inner wall of corrosion-resistant, superferritic stainless-steel metal. It’s a patent-pending venting system for stoves and inserts that use wood pellets, corn, other biofuels, or oil as fuel. Contact: (800) 835-4429 or duravent.com.
