Catalytic Stoves

The Ultimate Guide to Catalytic Wood Stoves

Catalytic wood stoves represent the gold standard in wood-burning efficiency. By channeling smoke through a ceramic honeycomb combustor, these stoves re-ignite gases and particulates at lower temperatures—transforming what would be waste into usable heat. The result is unmatched burn times, significantly reduced emissions, and higher fuel efficiency compared to non-catalytic models.

Why Choose a Catalytic Wood Stove?

• 
  Maximum Efficiency: Reach efficiency ratings of 75% or higher, extracting the most heat from every piece of wood.
  
• 
  Extended Burn Times: Enjoy steady heat for up to 30 hours on a single load—perfect for overnight and all-day heating.
  
• 
  Ultra-Low Emissions: Reduce your environmental impact with emissions as low as 0.3 grams/hour, surpassing EPA clean air standards.
  
• 
  Tax Credit Eligible: Many high-efficiency catalytic models qualify for the 30% federal tax credit.
  
• 
  Exceptional Control: Maintain a consistent low-and-slow burn, ideal for primary home heating.
  

What to Look For in a Catalytic Stove

• 
  Combustor Quality: A durable, accessible combustor is essential for long-term performance.
  
• 
  Bypass Damper: Look for a tightly sealed bypass system to maximize efficiency when engaging or disengaging the catalytic function.
  
• 
  Firebox Capacity: Select a firebox size that aligns with your square footage and preferred burn duration.
  
• 
  Ease of Maintenance: Models with swing-out or removable combustors simplify cleaning and replacement.
