The beauty of a big cat stove is that they can be turned down low for a long burn. Bigger doesn't mean hotter, it means longer in cat speak.

That's a good point, Highbeam. I wonder if anyone can riddle me this: how much longer, in theory, would a 2.6 cubic foot cat burn vs. a 2.6 cubic foot non-cat? Holding all other variables equal (chimney, wood, weather, draft, etc.) that is. Thoughts?

If the catalyst is fresh and the stove is working properly I'd guess you could double burn times.

Don't some of the PE models use a similar method to regulate the secondary combustion air?
.

The advertising leads you to believe that. BeGreen will be along shortly to elaborate.

Nope, not touching that one. My EBT is disabled. It is not the same at all.

Interesting. It's not a bug, it's a feature!
