VC Encore...I don't understand 'Cat Talk'. When you all say that you are "engaging the catalytic converter", what does that mean? I start my stove...damper open...temps reach 500, I close the damper and adjust the side toggle thing to keep the temps between 500-600. Yes/ No? Am I making this process too simple, or am I missing some piece?
Also...every so often, I get an overfire (I think you call it that). I will get a fire that has reached a very high temp...800+. This will happen if I change wood types or something. I run and move the lever thingy back and wait for the temp to drop... Did I just ruin the cat with these high temp spikes? (PS...boy, the room gets so nice and toasty when the temps are high...I like it).
