Question
I have a Schrader fireplace insert in my family room. Is it possible to burn pellets in the insert or convert it in some way to burn pellets? If it can be done, please advise me as to the proper way to burn the pellets in the insert

Answer
If you have an insert that is specifically designed to burn one type of fuel then the only way to burn a different type is to purchase a new fireplace/insert that is designed for that type of fuel.

So if you want to go from wood to pellet then you need to buy a pellet insert. that sort of thing.

Hope this helps.
