Electricity-free pellet system

Heating with pellets.
No electricity needed.

Max Blank pellet system inserts burn by natural chimney draught alone – in a real wood-burning stove, with a real flame picture. And tomorrow you can heat with logs again.

Max Blank combines the fascination of a real fire with the freedom to heat with pellets without electricity.

Pellets today. Logs tomorrow. Always independent.

The advantages of the pellet system insert

Small in the firebox. Big in effect.

  • No electricity at all

    No mains connection, no fan, no control unit. The fire keeps burning even during a power cut.

  • Converted in no time

    Insert the pellet box – or take it out and heat with logs. With suitable combination stoves.

  • Easy to use

    Fill, light, set the air slider – done.

  • Quiet in operation

    Without a fan or motor, all you hear is the fire.

    A pellet fire behind the glass of your Max Blank stove – with all the romance of a real fire.

  • Clean and safe

    A closed box made of heat-resistant stainless steel in the firebox.

  • High efficiency

    For example 85.3% for the KO2 XL (test value to DIN EN 13240). Values depend on insert and stove.

  • Low maintenance

    No electronics that need servicing or replacing.

How it works

The pellet box sits in the firebox of your stove. Fresh air flows in from below through the perforated base, and the natural chimney draught keeps the fire going.
