Just saw this on youtube. Looks like the owner Tom playing around with his new toy.

NH_Wood said:If I'm understanding the video correctly, the stovetop temp leveled off (after dropping) to 300* and then stayed at that temp. Seems to indicate that wet wood still ain't too good in this stove, but I guess that wasn't the point of the video! Cheers!

This stove was using some kind Cat combustor developed for diesel engines.
Plus the results page says this:
Please note: we are using catalytic technology not available during the last NSPS.  We areÂ
using catalysts made of stainless steel “durafoilâ€.   The thickness of the material is aboutÂ
0.0025â€Â (2.5/1000), and where it is bonded the maximum thickness is about 0.0075â€.  TheÂ
thin walls and high cell density result in a huge surface area to face area ratio (meaningÂ
more catalytic activity); quicker responsiveness at low temperatures; and less resistance toÂ
flow.  This has been one of the best innovations in the hearth industry over the last decade,Â
but you wouldn’t know it by talking to HPBA
Is this special cat available in all wood stoves today?
Todd said:Cat stoves run with such low flue temps that it's a good idea to let her rip in the bypass mode for a good 10-20 minutes to warm up that chimney and maintain a good draft. I found this out the hard way.
