Can I put pellets in a fireplace insert ?

QAITO Q50 in chimney - 60 m² room
Voir plus

Do you live in a villa or an individual house near Nice or in the French Riviera
and your living room is equipped with a fireplace with insert.

Your question is: Can I safely put pellets in my fireplace insert?


Your question is timely because everyone is talking about it and the company Confort Domo France offers you a simple solution: the QAÏTO pellet burner, Gold medal at the Lépine Contest.

Legally speaking, nothing prevents you from burning wood pellets instead of logs in your insert.

  • the pellets are natural wood crushed, compressed, and dried. Moreover, thanks to drying, the wood pellets have lost moisture: it is therefore a drier and less polluting fuel if your insert's draw is sufficient
  • the only obligation you have is to have your chimney swept 1 to 2 times a year (at the start and end of the heating season)

Do I need to change the lining of the insert to burn pellets?

§ No. If you use the QAÏTO pellet burner, you do not change anything in your existing installation.

The advantages of the QAÏTO pellet burner are numerous:

    • the QAÏTO burner adapts to almost all fireplace inserts or wood stoves, as long as the air supply comes from the bottom of the firebox.
    • the QAÏTO pellet burner installs in 1 minute once the stainless steel protections are removed
    • the amount of ash is reduced by 90% compared to the equivalent amount of wood
    • the insert's glass gets dirty less quickly than with logs because pellets are 3 times drier (pellets: 8% humidity standard // logs: 20-25%)
    • available in several models (4) depending on the size of your firebox, the QAÏTO pellet burner installs without work for comfort and auxiliary heating.
    • a new large model is available since September 2024

Moreover, the QAÏTO® pellet burner is a French product available all year round

For villa owners in Nice or in the South of France, the QAÏTO is truly a simple, eco-friendly and inexpensive way – €179 to €359 – to reduce your electricity and heating bill.
