Some of you may remember this post I put up a couple of years ago where I added secondary burn tubes to my older pre-EPA stove.

This winter, I took it a step further and added a catalyst to squeeze a little more heat out of it and clean up the emissions even more. Gary Reysa of Build it Solar was nice enough to put the story up on his web site in the biofuels section. Both parts of the project are pictured there as well as some efficiency testing I did on the stove. Here's the link:
Improving Efficiency of Older Wood Burner -- Adding Catalytic Combustor
BTW, for anyone interested in DIY solar, it's a great site with lots of ideas.
