  A probe style thermometer is provided with the Model 2500.  The thermom-

eter is used to monitor the opera  ng temperatures of the cataly  c combustor elements.  Two mounting or "sampling" holes 
are provided on the front of the Model 2500, located on either side of the Cataly  c Bypass Handle.  The choice of which sam-
pling hole to use is personal preference.  Either loca  on works equally well.  If you tend to operate the Bypass Damper with 
your right hand, the thermometer may be best located in the le   side sampling hole and vice versa.  To install the Cataly  c 
Thermometer, pry one of the metal plugs out of the sampling hole of your choice with a 

fl

 at bladed screwdriver or a similar 

tool.  Install the bushing that is included with the Cataly  c Thermometer into the ¼" sampling hole.  The bushing should 

fi

 t 

snugly into the sampling hole.  Insert the Cataly  c Thermometer probe fully into the bushing un  l the thermometer dial rests 
against the face of the Model 2500.  The probe should 

fi

 t easily into the bushing and should not need to be forced.

Properly posi  oned, the   p of the thermometer probe is now reading temperatures inside the 

fi

 rebox and within ½" of the 

cataly  c combustors.  In this posi  on the Cataly  c Thermometer can accurately measure the temperatures being generated 
by the combustors.  Please note that the Cataly  c Thermometer is a bimetallic design, not an "instant-read" thermometer.  
Allow a few minutes for the reading to stabilize.  Likewise, the thermometer records temperatures between 0°F and 2000°F 
on a rela  vely small scale.  The readings are intended to show opera  ng ranges, not minor degree varia  ons.

:  

The Cataly  c Thermometer is your best in-

dicator of cataly  c combustor performance and condi  on.  The cataly  c combustors 
must reach 500°F or more in order for them to ac  vate or "light-o

ff

 ."  Be pa  ent; it may 

take 30 minutes or more to reach these temperatures from a cold start.

•  Once thermometer reads between 500°F and 600°F, close the Bypass Damper to 

engage the cataly  c combustors.

• Con  nue to monitor the thermometer.  If the cataly  c combustors have ac  vated, 

the temperature should con  nue to increase to 1000°F to 1400°F.  This is the best 
and most e

ffi

  cient opera  ng range.  Adjust the combus  on air accordingly.

•  If temperatures are reading 1400°F or more, reduce the combus  on air se   ng to 

improve e

ffi

  ciency and prevent damage to the combustors and/or the wood heater.

Cataly  c Probe Thermometer

D

 T

:

  The Cataly  c Thermometer is a useful diagnos  c tool.  If you have closed the Cataly  c Bypass but the 

temperature does not con  nue to rise on the Cataly  c Thermometer, the bypass was closed before the combustors were 
ac  vated.  If higher temperatures than normal are needed to ac  vate the cataly  c combustors, the combustors may need 
cleaning or may be reaching the end of their service life.  If the cataly  c combustors will not "light-o

ff

 " at any temperature the 

combustors may be plugged with 

fl

 y ash or creosote.  Follow the instruc  ons on 

Page 20

 to clean the combustors.

M

:

  The Cataly  c Thermometer requires li  le or no service.  According to the manufacturer, a buildup of mate-

rial on the probe is normal and does not a

ff

 ect the performance of the thermometer.  If you do choose to clean the probe, 

stove glass cleaner, made for dissolving creosote on ceramic glass, should be used to gently wipe the probe.

C

 T

:

  The cataly  c combustor technology used in the Model 2500 is similar in many ways to the cata-

ly  c converters used on automobiles equipped with internal combus  on engines.  Both use a noble metal catalyst and, in the 
presence of the catalyst, the by-products of combus  on (in this case wood smoke) ignite at lower temperatures than they 
would normally.  Cataly  c combustors begin with a base (substrate) of ceramic material.  The ceramic is extruded into a hon-
eycomb shape, to maximize the surface area within the combustor, and then 

fi

 red to make it rigid, durable, and resistant to 

high temperatures.  The hardened substrate is prepared with a porous base coat, to enhance bonding and increase the surface 
area, and 

fi

 nally a coa  ng of a noble metal catalyst, such as pla  num, palladium, or other, is applied.  By de

fi

 ni  on the catalyst 

is not consumed, and does not undergo any las  ng chemical change, in the chemical reac  on it increases.  Theore  cally the 
noble metal catalyst could last inde

fi

 nitely.  In fact, over   me some elements in wood smoke tend to bond to the noble metal, 

reducing its e

ff

 ec  veness, and fric  on from smoke and ash gradually wear or "

fl

 a  en" the catalyst coa  ng.

The useful life of a cataly  c combustor is es  mated to be @12,000 hours, barring damage from impact or abuse.  At that stage 
the catalyst is expected to be @75% e

ff

 ec  ve.  The combustor will take longer to ac  vate or "light o

ff

 " and there will be a 

no  ceable drop in heat output.  The number of years service you can expect from cataly  c combustors will depend on where 
you live and how you use your wood heater.  A serious wood burner, living up north, may expect to get three to four years 
service, while a casual burner in a more temperate climate may get ten years or more.  In any climate, the key to maximum 
combustor life rests with the operator.  At the risk of redundancy; burning only well seasoned cord wood is the best advice. 
If you are new to cataly  c wood heaters, follow the instruc  ons found in this manual and develop good burning habits.  It 
should not take long to develop your wood burning skills.  Developing a rhythm for loading fresh fuel and learning the best 

 me to engage the catalyst comes with repe    on.  In fact, it may be easier for someone who is unfamiliar with wood heat-

ers to develop a rou  ne than an experienced wood burner who has operated other types of wood heaters.  The experienced 
user may need to unlearn, or change, their burning rou  ne or habits.  Regardless of experience, rest assured it is not di

ffi

  cult.  

Burning good, well seasoned cord wood is the main ingredient for success.  Never burn painted, contaminated, or pressure 
treated wood; or any other prohibited materials listed on 

Page 2

.  Take full advantage of the long burning capability of your 

cataly  c equipped wood heater.  A cataly  c equipped wood heater works best with a comfortably full load of cord wood in 
the  

fi

 rebox.  (

But don't "jam" the 

fi

 rebox full.

)  Allow the cataly  c combustors to ac  vate, close the Bypass Damper, set the 

Combus  on Air for a low to medium 

fi

 re, enjoy the warmth un  l the 

fi

 re has burned down to a good bed of coals, and reload.
