Traditional masonry fireplaces operate on what is known as an open system which means there is nothing to reflect the fire’s heat into your home. Furthermore, masonry fireplaces lose most of the heat they produce out the chimney; the main reason masonry chimneys are popular with wildlife.

Pellet fireplaces are in a closed, self-contained system. The pellet fireplace insert can fit directly inside your pre-existing masonry fireplace. Our crews know how to install a pellet fireplace insert inside your old fireplace’s firebox. And good news, the pellets clean-burning efficiency of 80% or greater makes a pellet stove an excellent choice for lowering your heating bills.

Easy Operation

Masonry fireplaces require that logs be lugged and stored before finally bringing them inside to be placed in the firebox. It’s a time-consuming labor-intensive process. You also have to deal with the mishmash of bark shavings, wood chips, and occasionally insects such as ants and termites.

Pellets come in bags and are placed in a hopper that automatically feeds the pellets into the fire. It’s a very neat and uncomplicated process that requires no extra labor from you.

The pellets that fuel these inserts may look like something you would feed your pet, but they are composed of recycled wood pieces, sawdust,  wood chips, wood shavings, and bark. They are condensed and create fuel pellets. The pellets are simple to store and don’t require the space of a woodshed where logs are kept. The pellets are manufactured to significantly decrease moisture, which creates a clean-burning and efficient heat source.

Two grades of pellets are available- standard and premium. Using a premium-grade pellet is recommended. Keep in mind that not all premium-grade pellets are created equal, and quality can vary from brand to brand, so be sure to shop for pellets with low ash content and higher heat outputs.

Some standard-grade pellets might have additives and contain excessive bark, which in turn creates an over-abundance of ash when burned. If you have any questions, our fireplace experts will be happy to discuss them with you.
