Expo Report & Introducing the IPI Solution!

HPBExpo 2011 in Salt Lake was great!  We were so pleased to meet so many new people, and reconnect with some of those who we already deal with.  It's good to see the word spreading about the Draw Collar, and to hear stories of satisfied customers whose smoking stove problems are being solved by our product.


This year, we were pleased to partner with Jotul to create a solution for gas inserts that have the IPI systems, and the problems inherent with them.  By using our technology, consumers can now use their IPI inserts - in IPI mode - year round.  Like it says on the banner, "The only IPI gas insert that's not afraid of the cold!"


The picture of the display illustrates the air movement in a typical IPI gas insert without Draw Collar Technology.  The bottom box simulates how the cold air just settles and makes it difficult for proper functioning at ignition.  With Draw Collar Technology, the air/draw is going prior to ignition, thereby resolving all of the complications that customers complain about.  --Not to mention the fact that by being able to use the IPI system year round, customers save hundreds of dollars vs. having the standing pilot (even just for winter months)!

This technology included in the Jotul GI 450 II and the Scan 45I were recognized as a finalist in the Vesta Competition this year.  Once again, we are excited to be a part of innovation in the industry.




This final picture is of our tireless team celebrating the end of a busy, productive show.  Thanks guys!  Your efforts and contribution to our success is immeasurable.
