    Hello, currently working on a free standing Quadra-Fire Castile that keeps having nuisance shutdowns around the 20 minute mark. Stove will turn on and call for pellets at start up. Takes a few minutes for the flame to get going and sometimes will need to hit the reset button. Once the fire...

    Quadra-Fire Pellet Stove Won't Turn Off

    My house has a Quadra-Fire Santa Fe Pellet Insert that we've been using for about three years now. We've had a couple of problems with it and I've been able to solve them like replacing the relay on the control board after the igniter stayed on continuously. But I've got a new problem that I...

    Hello everyone. Just a question, I have a Castile insert, and it must be the pellets this year but the flame gets pretty tall and I want to turn it down...but I've reached the extent of turning it down with the adjustment rod. Has anybody ran into this before? Only thing I can think of is to...

    Quadrafire Castile Efficiency

    Hi guys. I recently bought a used quadrafire castile insert from a friend. It's only about 4 years old. While it burns well, it doesn't seem to blow nearly as hot as my St. Croix Hastings which I have upstairs. It's in a small finished basement which is about 400 sq feet, so I would think...

    Sound Wars! How loud is a Quadra-Fire Castile VS a Mt. Vernon vs an Accentra?

    I have a Quadra-fire Castile insert, and I have a friend who is interested in getting a pellet stove as well. I run my Castile on high most of the time to keep up ( I probably bought to small, but that's another matter). I always hear that the MVAE and E2 are so quiet. I have never seen one in...
