north of 60 said:I moved up here from Vancouver B.C. over ten years ago now. Actually the lower mainland. Skied at MT Baker for years. I am always guaranteed snow so I dont mind if it stays away for awhile. As for the Northern Lights. After leaving the rat race I dont take anything for granted. I enjoy every second of what the north has to offer here. Its been my dream and I am living in it.
Cheers
soupy1957 said:I guess I should ask the following:
A) What creosote impact does the "CAT" leave behind? Greater or Less than without?
B) What Maintenance and/or replacement agenda and costs are associated with owning a stove with a CAT?

RIDGERUNNER30 said:This winter, I will have two wood stoves in my home a non cat and a cat. last winter i started thinking about a second stove to keep from running my other stove so hard to maintain the warm temps me and my family have got use to, buy heating with wood. what has interested me in cat stoves is the long burn times and when you work 12 hour days and have cut and stack your own wood it only makes sense to use a cat stove. alot of people like myself hate to think maybe they could have made a better choice when purchasing a wood stove and for some folks a non cat is the way to go, but being able to burn on a load for such a long time and maintain good temps in the house, cause me to purchase the fireview in the spring. I have a country wood stove that i purchased last year. I will be able to test the two. The long burn time will be the test followed by stove temps and the country stove has a bigger firebox than the fireview but it will still be interesting to see which stove comes out on top, my vote is leanig toward the fireview.my country stove is s-260 lecacy i think it has 2.6 cu ft firebox, but with a full loaded firebox of black locust, I only get about a six hour out of it so let the testing begin.
Backwoods Savage said:The fact is that those who do not own a cat stove are usually against having such an animal. Those who have a cat stove could do with either type but see the cat stove as giving more benefits and that is why they own one.
Treacherous said:Does a "non-cat" do a better job if you need rapid warm up as opposed to a cats long burn time?
Or do they perform the same when it comes to the initial heating of a room?
I am assuming stoves with equivalent BTU output.
north of 60 said:this is what I have going today at this time. Loaded at this am. Some pine and poplar 3/4 load 4hrs into burn and smoldering. Will get 12 hrs min for sure out of it. High temps above the cat but 400F at the rest of stove top locations. Been doing this since day one in mild outside temps. YR5. CAT still purring along like a kitten.
Not a inline filter Soup. A heat source that smoke fuels.
