    Catalytic Combustor Temperature

    How do I measure the temperature of my combustor on my Englander 24 ACD? Where would I even put the probe in? Where can I buy one? Side note: I found a little hole area behind the heat shields which is sorta near the combustor but not sure if that comes off or what… tried to mark it with the arrow.

    Englander 24-ACD What size catalytic combustor do I need?

    Englander 24-ACD/50-SHW24 Manual says 1inch and 3 inch. The housing unit I ordered is apparently 2 inches. Was able to find one to be delivered here on Tuesday. Without the housing unit, it measures 2inches tall inside the stove. I’d imagine it’d be 3 inches? But maybe I’m wrong. I’m going to...

    What’s causing this?

    Stove England 24-ACD /50-SHW24 We started burning and it slowly started to leak. We thought maybe it was our wood, but we were told it’s seasoned and it splits like butter (oak wood). We thought it was the temperature. Our stove gets to 300-450. Runs on the colder side at night. The pipe is...

    Englander 25-pdv convection hum, how common is this?

    I bought a factory refurbished Englander/ Summer's Heat 25-pdv in September.

    Blower not fully working Englander 25-PDVC/55-SHP10

    Hi, my Englander pellet stove is less than a year old and the blower barely works. The speed doesnt seem to spit heat out any faster than a level 3. If you turn it up to lets say 9 and 9, the blower still only pushes hot air out like a level 3. This is ridiculous. I also always get a failure...
