SNQ-1 Radiant Heat Pellet Stove Details
SNOQUALMIE STOVE WORKS, LLC
Snoqualmie Stove Works introduces the SNQ-1 Radiant Heat Pellet Stove, a remarkable new design in pellet burning appliances. This stove
boasts state-of-the-art pellet stove technology, offering for the first time, a radiant heat pellet stove. The SNQ-1 uses 100% of its surface area as a
heat exchanger; from the point of ignition, to the exhaust exit point, the SNQ-1 radiates heat. The stove is based on advanced and radically different
"Combustion Capsule” technology and a unique pellet delivery system. Together, these technical advances offer new and innovative design
opportunities and elements that are patent pending by Snoqualmie Stove Works. The innovations of the SNQ-1 Radiant Heat Pellet Stove represent
a new direction in pellet stove technology and design – an exceptional stove that is extremely efficient, safe, clean, and quiet.
Innovations for the SNQ-1 Radiant Heat Pellet Stove are based in our patent-pending "Combustion Capsule” technology, a more efficient and
cleaner burning alternative to traditional fire-pot technology. Combustion capsule technology eliminates the formation of fused ash because the
pellets are in constant flux when burning. Combustion capsules are interchangeable and removable, and are available in 20,000 BTU, 40,000 BTU,
capacity modular units.
Combustion capsule design eliminates the need for heat exchanger tubes as seen in current pellet stove design. The SNQ-1 has no heat
exchanger tubes in the traditional sense. Instead, the complete stove acts as a heat exchanger, offering for the first time, a truly radiant heat pellet
stove. In the SNQ-1, combustion air enters the capsule from above and below the burn grate, creating turbulent air movement and increased
oxygen. Pellets are delivered into this turbulent environment from the top of the capsule, along with the incoming combustion air. As the pellets are
dropped from above they are accelerated by the force of the incoming air and gravity; they are literally shot into the combustion capsule and thrown
about within the confined space. This action keeps the pellets in constant motion, a stoking effect which results in almost complete combustion, a
super efficiency that dramatically increases BTU's per pound of pellets and minimizes ash build up.
Another important innovation for the SNQ-1 is the patent-pending fuel delivery system, where pellets are dispensed into the combustion capsule
from a pellet hopper located on the top of the stove. Pellets are transported to the air feed tube and dropped vertically into the capsule, thereby
negating any possibility of burn back. Even if the air/pellet feed tube were to become clogged, the mass would shut off the stove’s air supply and
combustion would cease.
The SNQ-1 is extremely quiet; the only noise during operation is the sound of the fire. This is accomplished by the lack of internal convection and
combustion fans. For this new stove, the convection fan has been eliminated and the combustion fan is located remotely at the end of the exhaust
pipe. Conventional pellet stoves, while considered a clean/green alternative, can generate enough creosote and particulates to foul a combustion
fan located at the end of the exhaust system. The SNQ-1 burns cleanly and thoroughly, so the fan will not become fouled or plugged. An additional
safety feature is created by locating the combustion fan at the end of the exhaust system – the entire stove operates under negative pressure,
limiting the possibility of leaking exhaust.
The SNQ-1 Radiant Heat Pellet Stove has ultra-modern carbon fiber and brushed aluminum construction, which stays cool or slightly warm to the
touch, dramatically reducing the chance of an accidental burn. This is an especially important consideration for young children and pets. Another
benefit of aluminum and carbon fiber construction is in weight savings. This, along with its entirely modular assembly, makes the SNQ-1 much
easier to transport and service.
Snoqualmie Stove Works’ SNQ-1 Radiant Heat Pellet Stove represents a new direction for pellet stove technology and design. It is a stove for the
21st Century.
The preceding descriptive paragraphs explain the basic operation of the SNQ-1 prototype. Our current objective is to continue the development and
certification tests at Omni-test labs (http://www.omni-test.com/) in Portland Oregon.
