Catalytic Combustor system Operation

 

The proper use of a wood burning fireplace equipped with the Catalytic Combustor system will significantly 

reduce the emissions that it produces. Simple fuel considerations with regard to moisture content, size, and quality of 

fuel will help control the production of wood smoke and ultimately improve the performance of the Catalytic Combustor 

system and fireplace efficiency.  With proper care, the Catalytic Combustor system will provide years of fuel savings and 

lowered emissions. By following some simple guidelines, you will ensure maximum performance and longevity. 

 

The smoke that is usually seen coming out of a chimney is essentially a combination of unburned fuel (carbon 

and hydrogen) and moisture in the form of water vapor.  The Catalytic Combustor system is a technology that provides 

secondary combustion for the wood burning process. 

 

Avoid the use of treated, painted and laminated wood. Never incinerate garbage or other foreign materials. Do 

not use artificial logs, colored newspaper or petroleum based fire starters. Avoid wood with high salt content. All of these 

materials may contain compounds which can shorten the life of the catalyst. Wet or unseasoned wood may lower catalytic 

temperatures and result in inefficient operation. 

 

The Catalytic Combustor system is designed to function at optimum efficiency when the fireplace is burning 

clean, dry cordwood as fireplace fuel. A simple visual inspection of the chimney during the wood burning process will 

determine catalytic performance. 

NOTE:

 Chimney smoke may be visible during the first 8-10 minutes of fireplace operation when the fire is first started 

and also during the final 8-10 minutes of operation when the fire in the fireplace is going out. Otherwise, the catalytic
 system will eliminate approximately 90% of the visible chimney smoke typically produced by a wood burning fireplace.
