Lighting Wood Stoves is Faster with new Quadra-Fire Control

MINNEAPOLIS--(February 7, 2007)--Lighting a wood burning stove can be challenging, and keeping it lit is often a lengthy, repetitive task. Now, a new start-up system allows homeowners to simply load the firewood and kindling, light the fire and then after setting the air controls, you get on with your day. It's called the Automatic Combustion Control (ACC) technology and is available in the 3100 and 4300 series wood stoves from Quadra-Fire®.

Load, light and live.

"We've significantly improved the initial combustion process," says Steve Tate, Quadra-Fire Brand Manager. "You still load your paper, kindling and dry wood, and light it. But instead of waiting to see if your initial flame will become a fire, you shut the stove door, set the air controls and the stove does the rest. Load, light and live."
