[QUOTE="nstueve, post: 4061762, member: 55756"] hey guys, I'm usually over in the chainsaws section but needed some advice from other wood burner experts, or at least more knowledgable than me... We have a new englander indoor wood burner and it origionally had a strait thru honeycomb cat (2inch thick I think??). It started to crumble and so we replaced it. It looked like this... [url]http://www.motherearthnews.com/uploadedImages/articles/issues/1981-01-01/067%20wood%20stove%20pollution.jpg[/url] It was replaced by a 1-1.5in thick spider webby snarly cumbustor that we just dropped in so we could take out an clean more often. I guess the overall problem is that both cats have choaked the stove to the point where we have to run the air damper all the way open to keep the stove at 250*F stack temp. I would assume a higher flowing cat would allow a better air charge to be taken in and thus make the air damper a better temperature/air flow control. ANyhow does anyone have any ideas on what I should buy? Saw some round ceramic cats, or stainless maybe??? thanks in advance! Nathan [/QUOTE]
