A lot of nasty cold weather to test everyone's setups. We had to laugh tonight, kept hearing a load whistling sound, draft was so strong that...
I experimented with one do to really strong draft especially on windy days, but I didn't like the room air being sucked up the stack, noticed more...
It's hard to let go of a stove that is reliable and works so darn well.
Ya, I know its a bit far down stream in my stove with the stock cat probe setup, but I've questioned how hot it really is when I have seen temps...
You can order the stock probe from Woodstock. That is what I use to measure cat temps. It's still a good ballpark.
I'd take my air setting with a grain of salt, I have a super tall stack in the center of the house. Most people run at 3/4 to one. Usually we...
Nice, I did a temp measurement last night and found 575 in the same spot you are measuring with low 400's towards the edges of the stove top....

There was a memo when they sent out replacement combustors along with new bolts that fit the updated cat that you have. Maybe the user manual...
You have a point here, one of my chimneys had been burned with multiple stoves hooked into it for over 150 years with only single brick. I was...
Silcone gasket/vapors are a no no too for cats, at least in the automotive world.
I've seen the red color as you showed and described in my stove on and off. It's nothing I've been concerned with at all. I'd rather see my air...
The SS scoop is pretty amazing to watch it turn orange. We keep a wire BBQ brush handy to clean the screen on it, it has a tendency to collect...
Nice pics. Is it just me or the forum goers being part time like myself with the lack of cold weather?
Not sure, but maybe they are referring to barometric dampers? We sure love having our turn key damper as an "insurance" policy when the wind is...
