Product Description

This combustor's metal "can" has the correct wrapping flange (see photos), like on your original catalytic combustor, to hold the ceramic securely in your Vermont Castings stove. This catalytic combustor is a ceramic honeycomb coated with platinum and palladium, elements engineered to maximize the catalytic reaction. 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. Condar recommends our Digital Catalytic Monitor to ensure the proper operating temperatures for your combustor. The Condar Digital Catalytic Monitor is available from Amazon.

A note about gaskets: Combustors may, or may not, require a gasket to ensure a good fit inside the stove. This depends on the particular stove design. The recommended Condar CatGardTM gasket for this combustor is Condar item # 1P259 (qty. 2). For your convenience, we have INCLUDED a gasket with your combustor. CatGardTM gasket expands when heated in a hot woodstove, causing the gasket to swell. Once installed in the stove and heated, CatGard can expand permanently to twice its original thickness.

IMPORTANT: This combustor is not compatible with the Defiant / Encore Two-in-One stove.) - a worthwhile extra expenditure for better performance.

Those of us who are "Woodies", who take wood generated heat sources as a serious contribution to our yearly budge and entertainment schedule, where ever it is, should rejoice! A bunch of years ago catalytic combustors were added to the traditional wood stove. Many stove manufacturers offered them. The catalytic combustors clearly added significantly increased heat output for the same amount of wood burned, with less soot generated in our chimneys. Sorry Bert (Mary Poppins), but we don't need you as frequently with these things. Many of these stove manufactures have changed hands in the past years and the resulting supply of the replacement catalytic combustors has been erratic and expensive. I own a Vermont Castings catalytic stove and the current owners are not friendly on the replacement combustors. The good news is that there is a third party company in NC that has filled the void in spades. They are Condar, excellent product, well made, supply many brands, and are at a much better price. Compare their Amazon price to their store web page price. They also supply wood stove accessories, like catalytic combustor thermometers and others which makes them the go to place for stove stuff. They still have platinum in their combustors. This is a pleasant find for the Woodie.
