A Combustor Gasket is included at NO EXTRA CHARGE!
Combustors may, or may not, require a gasket to ensure a good fit inside the stove. This depends on the particular stove design. Included with this combustor is CatGard gasket material. Visit www.WoodstoveCombustors.com to learn more about combustor gaskets and how they work.
Catalytic Probe Thermometer
Catalytic probe thermometers allow you to monitor combustor performance, and maximize life-expectancy. Choose Condar items # 3-142 (2,5cm Probe) or #3-194 (6,4cm Probe) for your Dutchwest stove.
When to replace your combustor
After 12,000 hours of use, a combustor is expected to have lost 25% of its catalytic function. This is a natural process called “wear-out.” Molecules of platinum and palladium aren’t actually lost, but their binding to smoke pollutants that can’t be removed by maintenance means gradually your woodstove will recover less heat from the smoke. Gradually you’ll notice less warmth, and eventually you’ll see dark pollutants from your chimney. (White steam is a normal emission from any EPA-approved woodstove, and water vapor is a natural harmless byproduct of catalytic reaction.)
Conscientious owners replace their combustors after roughly 12,000 hours even if the combustor is intact. The payback from your additional heat recovery is well worth your cost.

Great catalyzer for my Dutchwest stove. I was able to change it quickly and easily. Delivery from woodlaneshop was fast and accurate. |
