Yes, the thought that came to mind was oxidization. Maybe caused by moisture in the wood. Most of my wood is very good, but some is only a year...
One thing I noticed was the lack of any of that green residue on the CAT in the Absolute Steel. In fact it was so clean I just tapped it out and...
You need to wear gloves! It can be tricky. :)
I had a greenish tint to the dirty water after this cleaning. ...whatever that might mean. It cleared up, as I did repeated sprayings and then the...
So I spent the late afternoon doing wood stove maintenance, mainly cleaning the Catalytic Converter. This is a pretty simple and not very time...
Very awesome pic! Bet that felt toasty! :)
I have a Fireview I bought in 2012, I've cleaned the CAT twice now with the 50/50 mix but that takes less than 1/2 hour and about $2.99 for the...
A couple of other nice things I like about this stove is the size of the box and the ash pan. The size of the box is not too much larger than my...
I have found both the Fireview I got in 2012, and now the AS I got this November, (but I beta tested one last March) and I have found they both...
It's stopped snowing here in north central Mass. They say we're supposed to get high winds this afternoon and one report I have seen says more...

So I woke up in the middle of the night, as us oldhippies sometimes do, so I sauntered down to check the stoves. When I went to sleep at 10PM, I...
You're doing everything right and it sounds like you are getting efficient burns and your wood usage reflects it. How well seasoned is your wood...
Sorry I am just seeing this, in regards to Qyota question. I'll see if I can take some small videos and also take some pics. I AS is in the...
Also very hard to get an angle on taking a pic of it, as the hoodscoop obstructs the view. I did take another set of readings and pics and will...
Thanks Lorin, very cool! What an adventure you guys had! Loved all the pics on FB.
Okay I finally got down there when the CAT was fully bright orange, but as soon as I opened the cover and the light hit the cat the orange glow...
Okay, well that is a good start, Ill try to do that test tomorrow after I stop celebrating the Pats Superbowl win!
No, but I will try to see if I can do this. I haven't done it before, but will give it a try. I'm not sure how much that proves, or how that...
