I have a 1994 Vermont Castings Dutchwest stove that I bought new and had professionally installed. A great stove. I would like to replace the catalytic converter. My question: Are aftermarket catalytic converters, which are plentiful for my stove, worth the money ($50 to $150). I can buy a branded Vermont for ~$450 but I won't spend that much. What catalytic converter brands have you bought and what did you spend? I don't need to know where you bought. I want to know why you bought, what you spent and if you think you got proper value for your money. Thank You
 
There are only a few manufacturers of catalysts. Midwest Hearth and Condar are reliable sellers.
