Calling In The Warranty On Woodstock Steel Cat

As expected, my Fireview is running beautifully with its one week old replacement SS cat. I even take back what I said about Black Locust being hard to start now that the stove is running right again.

Ditto here with my new SS cat. I'm into it for 1 week and it lights off perfectly.

Maybe I'll just have to give in a plan on a new cat every year or so. I don't expect WS to replace them forever. $125 is not a huge amount of money for a super stove and wonderful, otherwise, mostly free heat. I can save on shipping if i go to the pig roast every year too.

I'm gonna try real hard to get there this next year. All efforts failed last year, since Katie could have deployed at any moment, which she finally did. I heard it was a lot of fun. :-(

I am back to running the old Iron Scoop and the old ceramic cat with a new interam gasket. No complaints! I will try with the ss scoop and the ceramic cat next.

I am guessing with the new replacement ss cats you guys are getting you are going to see having to light off at higher temps after it is broken in just like the first round.

Probably, but I am enjoying this while it lasts.

Hey Terry, maybe you could fly by here and pick me up on the way. lol I do hope that we get to meet this fall.


Our new SS cat is working nicely so far. Only one time did it hesitate on lighting off. So I opened the bypass and raised the flue temperature up a bit and all was well. Not had that problem since so it must have been a fluke. I know it is hot in the house right now!
