The Vermont Castings Intrepid stove we have is working much better since we sealed up the place in the back with furnace cement. It is actually a different stove! So I have been going over the manual, trying to make sure all is good with the stove. Just want to get the Learning Curve over with!!
So I took the catalytic converter out to vacuum it and just see what it looked like. I took a picture of it. It said Corning Long life 160 2521 on the side. Is this what it is supposed to look like? I noticed a slight bump/bulge in the middle of the metal frame of it. I am assuming from heat. Does this mean it is worn out? I have no idea how old this is, or if it is the original or anything.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this? When I vacuumed it, I could feel the air moving through it. So I know it is not blocked up or anything.
