Is there a simple and reversible way to easily transform your log fireplace into a pellet stove?
Ø Thanks to a French product, Gold Medal at the Lépine Competition, and already used
in more than 30,000 homes: QAÏTO.
QAÏTO ®, registered name - pronounced 'K . I . TO' – is an invention as simple as it is ingenious, which has received numerous distinctions thanks to its innovative design and easy installation.
1. Verification of the possibility of installing a QAÏTO burner
To know if you can use the QAÏTO pellet burner in your fireplace or wood stove, you just need to have primary air intake at the base of the hearth.
Ø If so, choose the QAÏTO burner model based on the size of the hearth. Simply put, choose your model according to the size of the logs used:
o 33 cm logs: QAÏTO Q10
o 40 cm logs: QAÏTO Q20
o 50 cm logs: QAÏTO Q30
o 60 cm logs: QAÏTO Q50
QAÏTO, whichever model, installs in 1 minute in your fireplace or wood stove.
2. Composition
a. The QAÏTO always consists of
i. a plate, to be placed on the hearth sole (remove the protection layer beforehand)
ii. a stainless steel sleeve that attaches to the hearth plate (same for the protection layer)
iii. and a cast iron burner that is placed inside the sleeve
The QAÏTO burner is 'as simple as can be' to install
3. Filling and Ignition
a. Then fill the burner with wood pellets according to the desired power.
b. Ignite and place a 100% natural fire starter - for example, the one offered by QAÏTO, the CD1000) QAÏTO – FTB) – on the pellets.
c. Open your hearth's air supply and close your insert glass if you have one.
In the case of an open fireplace, simply ensure that ventilation is sufficient to provide air to the pellets. Raise the plate if there is no hearth grille on the hearth sole.
You will quickly achieve a beautiful flame that will last 1 hour or more (depending on the quantity of pellets) and will generously heat you for several hours.
Indeed, cast iron accumulates heat and releases it gradually.
Another advantage: you will have very little ash after a good combustion (10 times less than with logs).
4. Reloading:
Easy at any time, provided you follow the instruction to only reload on ¾ of the surface of the burner, to avoid completely smothering the embers or flames.
