St Croix pellet stoves are a division of Even Temp, which is owned in turn by Johnson Gas Appliances. They won two 'Vesta' awards in 2003, and one each in 2004, 2005 and 2008.
Located 5 miles north of highway I-80 on the North edge of Waco, Nebraska, (See 'Contact' below), Even Temp was started in the 1950's by LaMoine Todd as a company set up to insulate homes. After making parts for another stove company, Even Temp started to produce their own woodburners and the went on to produce pellet stoves.St Croix manufacture three versions of their corn stoves and five pellet stoves, - the latest of which, 'The Lincoln SCR' won the 'Vesta' award in 2008. They also produce the 'York' pellet stove insert.
St. Croix stoves use durable stainless steel heat exchangers and are equipped with a control board that provides diagnostics to detect operating problems.
The multi-fuel grate is similar in concept to the Bixby system, but manual, the used fuel is cut off and dropped to the ash pan while keeping the fire burning. This system is operated by two control rods. The upper control rod shaves the burning fire from the clinker and pushes it back from the burn pot. This design enables high ash fuels to be burnt.
The lower control rod allows the clinker to drop into the ash pan. When this is done, and the rod returned to it's original position, the upper rod is used to return the fire to its position in the burn pot.
The multi-fuel grate is a very efficient system which wastes very little fuel, maintains a bed of hot coals, and leaves the ash in a compacted, space saving briquette.
The St Croix pellet stove versa-grate uses a slightly different system to the corn stoves in that the versa grate has a motor which oscillates the bottom of the burn pot and sifts the ash into the ash pan.
