The Versa Grate System
Versa Grate Motor - Located in the back of the stove and mounted to the sheet metal
base. This 1RPM motor drives a cam-rod system, which ultimately slides the Grate
Bottom back and forth beneath the Main Grate Body. This particular motion agitates the
air passing through the Self-Cleaning Grate to improve the combustion process and also
help prevent clinkers from forming on the surface of the Shaker Plate.
All of the St. Croix Pellet stoves have the Versa Grate System in them. Most of the parts
involved are used in common with all the Pellet models we offer. The location is the
same in each stove. The York insert uses a different mounting bracket and slightly
different orientation of the System in the stove.
Please refer to the 2 diagrams showing the difference between the system used in the
freestanding models and the system used in the York insert.
