Does the size of the split affect the catalytic combustion?

    I bought a load of wood to finish out my need for the coming season. Getting to old for this chit.
    The splits are bigger than I normally process my wood. As an example: The split I measured was 8" and quart split. 32" dia, round I would have normally split that piece in half again.
    Will these larger split make the combustor work better? Woodstock AS

    I don't see how it would impact a cat differently.

    Smaller pieces will still be consumed a lil faster, no? Might burn a lil hotter too? But I dunno, never owned one.
    Might just come down to drying faster, and easier to handle...
