I have a positive flow Pinicale Corn Stove. I have been told I cannot burn wood pellets in it because it is positive flow. Is it possible to burn cherry pits?

Sorry... corn only. There is a risk of the fire travelling back up the auger chute into the hopper. Now you have a house fire.
You can pour syrup on poop, but that don't make it pancakes.

I'm burning rye in mine now works great I can run as low a 3/4-1 on feed setting where corn the lowest I could run was 1 1/2
. I have also burned wheat in my Pinicale
If it's biomass and I can get it thru my stove I'll burn it.4rth yr burning with a Pinnacle Emerald and 3rd yr 1020 American Royal Biomass boiler.Wife loves the heat.

Keep a fire extinguisher close by!

Emerald 3000 it's a positive flow. Rye and wheat burn like corn it will clinker in the pot just a little bit softer clinker than corn.
