I had just loaded up the stove. activated the catalyst, turned the air down till almost closed and started to watch TV. I always check the flame every once in a while (drive my wife nuts, I am always fiddling with the air) well, when I looked after about 15 minutes or so, there was no flame, but it looked like there was a light on in the stove. The cat was glowing orange with no flames in the firebox. I watched this for a while and the cat temps continued to rise, 1300, 1400, 1450, 1500..then I got nervous and diengaged the cat and immediate flames eurupted.
It was definatley different, I had never seen anthing like that. You could watch the smoke drafting up to the cat, a very small flame running around the cat air supply ringjust under the catalyst. Anyone ever experienced anything like this before? It was kind of cool to watch.
