It is pretty ridiculous they have this cat out of stock problem every year. Maybe they should offer either steel or ceramic so they can keep up with demand? Not sure if their newer model stoves can adapt to ceramic cats since they need a different frame? I still have my old cast frame and ceramic cat just in case. I’m currently running their steel cat in my Fireview but I find it does clog with ash easier and doesn’t burn as hot as a ceramic cat.
Is there an aftermarket solution for the cat? I couldn't really find anything for the Ideal Steel 210?

from the ideal steel 210 cat order page: Dimensions: 12.50in x 7.50in x 2.75in

And yes, I forgot about the EPA testing/ government shutdown boondoggle.

All I can find for aftermarket cats is for their Fireview, Classic and Keystone/Palladian.

If Woodstock goes under people are going to be SOL!
