Nope, BK says they will not even consider it a cat issue for 7 years. I have never seen it glow.

I
know, I'm sorry. Just couldn;t figure out how to start a new thread. So... sorry guilty of hijacking. But i find a little comfort if not heat in this comradery of sirocco 20 problem solving. Just got the moisture meter form BK yesterday, but now have to go get a battery for it.
Almost to 100% with dealer's wood and flue temp got pretty hot too with his wood. Going to be getting some ddry live oak and a battery for moisture meter today. will report back. THANKS again all.
I'm pretty sure they did not mean it the way you are saying it. They have a 10 year warranty on the cat because they are expected to last at least 7 years. You can clog a cat up in 5 minutes if you don't operate the stove correctly. That doesn't mean its a warranty issue, it just needs to be looked at and cleaned.
You should be able to see the cat glowing anytime the combuster temps are about 50% on the gauge.
Laura, starting a new thread for your specific issues would be a good idea. I can help move some of the important facts over. To start a new post, go to the hearth forum home page here:
https://www.hearth.com/talk/forums/the-hearth-room-wood-stoves-and-fireplaces.6/
Then click on the light blue "Post New Thread" button in the upper right corner of the page.
What? Definitely yes. These are totally different issues. Mixing them up together is confusingat best and less than helpful.
Started a new one. But will be following yours. Can't wait to hear about your double walls.
Mine, (now a 30), is working fine without double wall.
(I'm convinced my issue was with the stat - when on medium it was actually on low, turning to low was turning off. I got pretty good burn times if I never put it lower than medium. Yet, still exchanged it out for a 30 and it makes a world of difference - the box is soooo much easier to load too and finally temps are in high 60's in adjoining rooms - although outside temps are higher as well).
Stay safe and warm and again my apologies for jumping into your thread.

Oh oh, someone needs to tell that author that is not a legal or proper wall shield. There's no air gap built in.

2 - 45s in the attic, are you certain about this? What type of pipe is in the attic?
Marginally. Your stove is very efficient. Don't worry about heating the house with the stove pipe. That is so old skewl.
