My dealer certainly did not prepare/inform me of the nuances or difficulties in using a downdraft/ non-cat stove before I purchased mine. I had extensive experience with smoke dragons & catalytics as I grew up with them, so maybe he just assumed I knew what I was getting myself into. But I sure would have appreciated some insight from him on what types of setups (like mine) that are near certainly doomed to fail with a non-cat, but would have worked with a catalytic.

What stoves are down draft??? This will be my first year with the F400 and i learned that seasoned wood and proper air flow will give good results.not like the i use three month old season wood in my smoke dragon and think its cool guy next door.

Geez, I was pretty sure he was talking about me. Not that there’s anything wrong with it.
I actually wasn’t paying attention and thought I was posting on the Dutchwest Non-Cat thread.
I hit submit and said… !!!
