The reason that you need the cat to be at active temperatures before engagement is so that the cat is ready to eat the nasty smoke just as soon as...
22 here this morning. Cold for us west coasters!
It's all about the burn rate. There are some very nice stoves that are made to make lots of heat and the design did not or could not prioritize...
The stove is an appliance. It does not have a brain. This appliance has performance specifications that it can achieve whether out in a field or...
This one data point, yes, relatively normal for a noncat. I don't believe that it is ever normal or advisable to see 1200 on a flue probe meter...
He can run pretty fast.
From the Duravent site: "Designed for normal, continuous operation at 1000° F flue gas temperatures, DuraTech is subjected to rigorous and...
I can’t smell smoke in the room but if I put my nose right on top of the gasket during a fire I can smell a smoke aroma. I call it dog butt...
sorbate?
just turn the existing switch on the heater to max heat so it is always”on”. Or do as you say by opening the can and bypassing it entirely. You’ll...
Onboard thermostats are an option for most electric wall heaters. All of these heaters are compatible with remote thermostats. All the line...
You bet it’s possible. The line voltage thermostats are a little pricey but not bad. I have two wall heaters on digital line voltage thermostats...
The catalyst burns up the smoke as it leaves the firebox just before the chimney connection. Whether or not the smoke in the firebox has a chance...
Cool pics. It looks scary hot but 1200 is well within the safe operating range of the catalyst. Heck, my cat meter (on a bk) spends most of its...
as long as that crack is inside the gasket it is not a leak and I would consider it cosmetic. Run it.
Even old electric furnaces are 100% efficient. Just like new ones. Sure, the blower motor of a newer furnace might be slightly more efficient but...
The bk freestanders use a pair of paddle (axial) fans, not squirrel cage fans. They do work well but I would enjoy the novelty of heat powered fans.
I’m surprised it took so many years to suddenly become a problem. You would think these things would pop up pretty quickly.
A tirty point buck
Whoa!
