Dennis (back to the original post theme), do you attribute the boost in stove efficiency to the new steel cat? Could the steel cats let more flow through than the ceramic for a given primary air setting? Just wonderin...

Not necessarily but perhaps. I do remember this happening, I believe with 4 splits when we had the ceramic cat. Also, we never got this with the SS cat that we installed back in October. So were there a change in how the cats are made?

. This is the 6th day with the new SS cat.

That is the key right there. Report back after the 156th or so day. My SS cat was like that too in January 2011, not so much now. :mad:

Steve, I do plan on doing that.
