I think it depends more on air flow or air settings than the color of the cat but there are times I see spikes over 1400 at low settings as the...
You first! Easy for you to say with that easy access top lid.
Now that I've had about a week with the thermocouple thought I'd share some observations. I've seen temps as high as 1470 with the cat barely...
My woodstove kept up fine heating my upstairs 1200 sqft but I just rcvd my gas bill and got hammered with a $145! guess there's a little learning...
Does your glass get dirty on lower burns? Is the glass double pane like the other Woodstock's?
I don't know if it's allowed to copy and paste that thread from hearth.com? I would if they don't ban me.
Buck1200 and Chipsoflying have thermocouples installed on their PH. I haven't seen them post in some time over on that other site.
Woody, Thanks for reminding me about electric outlets, I need to take care of mine. When we had that last cold snap I went around with my IR gun...
I'd like to see someone plug all those secondary holes and see how it would run in full cat mode.

Chromium is part of the make up of stainless steel and I think that green stuff may cover up or mask some of the wash coat. I'd like to hear if...
How long does it take to reach those temps on a reload?
I've done the same many times. Those bypass temps can get away from you pretty quick. Your probably fine engaging sooner, those cat temps don't...
Get one of these. [ATTACH]
I've been engaging the cat at 600 and the STT can be well below that 250 recommended light off mark. I haven't tried lighting off lower because I...
I don't know about this cat bath or spray. I always heard or read this was only needed for a cat that was masked in creosote and it usually did...
The top stones are not cemented in, they lay on gaskets on the cast frame and there's another steel frame that holds the stones in place and bolts...
Actually the Keystone top is very easy to remove, 2 bolts and it lifts right off. Also no cement just gasket. The way I had that Condar cat...
Someone did install a thermocouple in the PH but I forgot who it was. I remember he went through that rear access hole and he did leave some...
