The Winslow Pellet Insert

The Winslow pellet insert, by the makers of the Whitfield pellet stove, is a handsome bay window style which can be adapted to smaller fireplaces by adjusting the hopper size and using a surround kit which moves the fire out into the room by three inches.

It has a robust heat exchanger with high capacity to transfer heat to the home.

The fire will cycle to a high combustion rate once an hour which blows debris away from the burn pot and reduces the frequency the burn pot needs to be scraped.

Surge Protector Recommended

Comments

Cleaning the flue passageways and emptying the ash pan of the winslow pellet insert is not as easy as with the freestanding stove.

There is a convenient ash trap with a hinged lid at the base of the flue.

Maintenance

The burn pot and its air holes should be cleaned after burning 200lbs. of pellets.

The ash pan should be emptied after burning 1,000lbs. of pellets.

The heat exchanger should be cleaned once a week using the built in scrapers.

The flue passageways in the stove should be cleaned after burning 1,000lbs. of pellets.

The combustion blower, convection blower, air intakes and the proof of fire switch should be cleaned after burning 2,000lbs. of pellets.

The door and window gaskets should be inspected once a year, and the flue checked and cleaned if necessary.
