Product Description
For VERMONT CASTINGS wood stoves (Models Defiant, Encore, Large Winter Warm Insert). This catalytic combustor is a STEEL honeycomb coated with platinum and palladium, elements engineered to maximize the catalytic reaction. Advantages of choosing a steel combustor over ceramic are" (1) A more durable honeycomb. Can't crack or crumble, even at highest operating temperatures, (2) Less build-up of wood ash, within the honeycomb cells. Sharp steel edges actually "cut" ash as it goes up the flue. Better air flow, less cleaning maintenance, (3) Lower "light-off" temperature. Engage your draft bypass at 100 degrees lower temperature than with ceramic honeycomb, (4) Steel heats up faster than ceramic. Recovers more usable heat from wood smoke. A worthwhile extra expenditure for better performance. Strategically placed in the smoke path inside a wood stove, the catalytic combustor literally causes smoke to burn as fuel, creating more heat from less wood. That means a wood stove can be burned slowly, transforming most energy stored in a log to the room as heat, instead of to the outside air as pollution. Measures 2.5" wide by 13" long by 2" thick. Condar recommends replacing your stove's catalytic probe thermometer each time the combustor is replaced. Condar catalytic probe thermometers are available from Amazon. Condar recommends our Digital Catalytic Monitor to ensure the proper operating temperatures for your combustor. The Condar Digital Catalytic Monitor is available from Amazon. IMPORTANT: This combustor is not compatible with the Defiant / Encore Two-in-One stove.
