I tried to save a cat with the vinegar boil and I did get a huge improvement but it was just temporary, another few months and I was back with a...
It’s a trade off for sure. Noncats are great at high burn rates, clean burning and lots of output. The cat stove can run hot but also run very low...
For me it’s the increase in smoke plus increase in thermostat setting to keep the house warm. That increase in thermostat setting makes the burn...
A failed or worn out cat releases excessive pollution all the time so if your cat is dead, replace it so that the stove is always burning at top...
Door opens on the wrong side?
There is good reason to crosspost. Some good folks refuse to use both forums.
If the firebox is still mostly full after two hours and your stove is just at 300 then you need to change something. I run my nc30 very hard...
Only 6” deep? I expected more, good things you measured showrguy.
I’m sure there is plenty of room for a standard size pot. The deck is very small and the stove top is huge and flat. Even my little princess...

I read that as pipe sizes not temps being asked about. Regardless, we agree that pipe size should match stove outlet size for best performance.
[ATTACH] Into the big doug fir, 2-3 years old, this stuff burns differently. Need higher stat settings but get the same burn time. Does anyone...
I think you meant to say that pipe matching stove top IS ideal right? 6" stove on a 6" chimney seems ideal.

Oddly, my noncat stove has much lower emissions rating than my cat stove. Much lower efficiency as well.
Yes. Though not all noncats use tubes to deliver that secondary air since some brands use a perforated baffle plate that is more damage resistant...
In my detached shop I installed a cheaper noncat stove on the slab with 14’ ceilings several years ago. It’s 71 out there right now, mid 30s...
Montana is pretty much next door to Washington. I can drive from the ocean to bk headquarters and to anywhere in Montana all in one day.
You are well into IS territory. Neither of these stoves is particularly large. The IS is just 3.2 cubic feet according to Woodstock who has a...
