Over half the heat generated by a Quadra-Fire woodstove is from burning the smoke that would otherwise build creosote in your chimney and pollute the air. Quadra-Fire’s patented internal design featuring Advanced Combustion Technology burns the smoke in 4 zones reducing emissions, improving efficiency and increasing the amount of heat transferred to your home.
So… go ahead! Toss the wood in! Most Quadra-Fire stoves feature front-to-back wood loading. This allows you to load the stove without putting your hand in the firebox. If you decide to give the wood a little toss, it will safely roll to the side instead of out onto the floor. Front-to-back wood loading also improves airflow throughout the firebox, and provides more safety and convenience when adding fuel to a hot fire.
