Currently, I use this inside my Dutchwest 2462 model. After I installed the stove, it threw an amazing amount of heat. This only lasted a short time. It burned until March 15, 2020 after I put it in on Dec 26, 2019. looked at the stove to clean it out for the new year and found nothing but a dusty ring and a pile of ashes. The stove has burned out completely. As much as I wanted it to last longer, I was really expecting it to last a little longer. In the last one I bought, part of it burned out after 3 years. I have put that one back until I can buy a new one, but it is disappointing that it just burned up in less than four.
The company is excellent. I am very happy with my purchase! The program activates exactly when promised and works perfectly. I received a response in minutes when I asked the seller to clarify a concern. The best I've ever seen. My next purchase from this seller and product will most definitely be this one. I highly recommend this. I have updated The combustor is still fantastic nearly two months after it was installed. Heat is generated quickly, the flame stays lit for longer periods of time than the original Blaze King's combustor, and little if any back puffing is observed. It and the company would both earn another 5 Star review if I could. Here is the update two years after it happened There is still no problem with this combustor. A crack is not present. It heats up rapidly. Soft brush is a great way to clean this product. It makes me wonder if the bad reviews are coming from people who don't understand how catalytic stoves work. It is only appropriate for dry wood. A green or wet environment never works. I just thought of something.
I can have it made to fit into the diverter of my custom stainless steel catalytic converter. The idea came from one my dad had back in the 80's and 90's there was one similar to what I made back then. His was made from heavy black steel stove pipes, mine is made of stainless steel sheets. It lights up to about 800 when I slide it into the pipe position of 500 DG F After reaching 900+ degree, I look out at my chimney and do not see smoke anymore or very little smoke, and I see a great reduction in creosote in my 21' triple wall steel Please let me know if you're able to upload a picture soon. My daily goal is still 500 DG when I get up in the morning.
In so far as the strip is concerned The dimensions are 2inch X 16inch X 1/4 inch The one that was included in the package wraps around the side of the combustion chamber. It seems there were no instructions on how to attach the document - Unless I'm missing it Since the combustor would slide when being inserted into the stove combustor carrier (a very tight fit), it was best to glue it or not to the stove combustor carrier. In the end, I tacked it down with some stove rope "glue" The goal is to keep the slidding from slipping The Buck 91 stove was a real pain in the neck to replace the combustor on, and that was my only complaint about the product. The metal combustion chamber was held in place by 8 nuts There were 20 pounds of weight in the chamber itself. As a result, the process of revalidating was a major pain in the neck You had to reach inside the container and lift it up to install it An attempt to screw on a nut failed. I don't recommend it for those who are 65 or older.
Almost 20 years ago, I purchased a Vermont Casting Winterwarm fireplace insert. Because I have trouble reading instruction manuals, I didn't realize that I was supposed to replace the catalytic combustion engine. Even though the stove had a 23-year-old combustion engine, it still heated the house to a comfortable temperature of 74°. During my reading of an article about wood stoves, I discovered that the catalyst should be replaced every five years or every 500 hours of operation. The first thing I did was take the stove apart to access the Catalytic Combustor by going online and reading what I needed to do to replace the catalyst. As part of this review, I included a picture of the old combustor that has been in use for almost 23 years. Despite placing the order on a Saturday, I received my new CPU on the following Tuesday. The software is up and running now The stove was put back together and a fire was started to test it. I am floored! A new combustor made a significant difference in the performance. temperature in the house had now reached 78 degrees as a result of the rapid warming. It is also saving me wood since I am not having to burn as much wood. I have only been using this combustor for a couple of weeks but am very pleased.
It's the second catalyst combuster I've purchased for my Fireplace Xtrordinair and it's by far the best. While it doesn't look as solid as my prior unit, it does have a honeycomb appearance. As soon as it starts up, it glows brightly and produces an impressive amount of heat. I highly recommend this book.
I guess it arrived on time, but it did not come with the gasket as advertised, so I'm off to find it at a store somewhere. It wouldn't have killed you to include it for the price. I have been disappointed since I started the game. THE UPDATE IS There was a stove store in my area, and I purchased the $26 gasket from them. I added this price to the total cost for this product, which was falsely advertised as including the gasket. Do you think there is fraud going on here or are you just having I will have to spend another $26 for a gasket either way. There's no way this thing is going to last.
I had to replace two ceramic combustors within the past five years (original and The metal one was replaced this time. The damper control now works properly on the stove, and there is no draft when chunks of the ceramic combustor are missing (with chunks of the ceramic combustor missing, the draft was too strong). It will be interesting to see how it performs during the winter months. I updated the following in March However, now that the combustor has been used over the winter, it is clogging up quickly & failing to function as intended A quarter cord of wood will be used normally within a week. When it comes to lighting the stove with lightning nuggets and wood, nothing else is used, and I leave the bypass open until everything reaches a temperature. This is a mix of Oak, Birch, Ash, and Maple, each of which has a moisture content under 10% It's not a big deal if I snake a vacuum up to the combustor to clean it, but I shouldn't need to do it every week. It's not a big deal now, but at the end of the heating season, I will pull it out and inspect it more carefully. We are not happy, we are Compared to 5 stars, 2 stars are now required.
