    Progress Hybrid cat question / smoke smell

    Progress Hybrid cat question / smoke smell

    I don't think that my wood is particularly well seasoned. It really shouldn't matter as far as the smoke smell goes. Well seasoned wood determines...

    Anybody using an outside air kit with their Progress Hybrid?

    Cleaning Glass on a wood stove

    Wood stove pipe just blew out of the flue! - Holy Cow!

    Progress Hybrid - Shielded Cooktop and screen - diff stove

    Considering a Woodstock Progress Hybrid, but have some questions/concerns. Any PH owners out there?
