The above is a thread about catalytic combustor problems in a vermont castings defiant stove. It also has a very good link to buck stoves web site that has FAQ about catalytic combustors, their life expectancy, their cleaning & maintenance & the dos & don’t of operating a cat stove & the woods to burn ,to get the longest life from your catalytic combuster.

While some of the info is specific to vermont castings, most of the info will be of great value to anyone operating any make or model of catalitic stove. Don’t forget the link to buck stove’s FAQ
