Thinking of adding a 6" catylitic combustor to my Drolet Lengend III Can I just drop one into my stove pipe exit?

It's clean and good burning.... but requires constant supervision.The Legend III is a good, clean-burning stove. What would be the reason or goal for adding one at the flue outlet.
Adding a cat on the flue collar would not make the stove operate like a stove that was designed as a catalytic stove.It burns way, way hot and I want to turn it down but I want to make maximum use of my wood. I have had this stove "run away" and lose control. If I can keep exit tempreture at 350-400 I could controll it and get max burn out of my gasses.
This may be due to a strong draft, or the way the stove is loaded or run. How tall is the flue system on the stove from stovetop to chimney cap?It's clean and good burning.... but requires constant supervision.

Yep. The Legend III is a good stove. Try burning large splits E/W with the next reload after raking the hot coals to the front. See how that works out.Another tip for avoiding an over fire is to wait until the coals are mostly burned down before reloading.
