                  Problem

 

3. Backpuffing 
 
 
 
4.  Smoke Rollout when heater 

door is opened 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
5.  Low Catalytic Temperature 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

1. Plugging 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
2.  Catalyst Peeling 
 
 
 
   
 
3.  Catalyst Masking 

              

Possible Cause

 

1. Gusts 

of 

wind 

2. Hot 

combustor 

(Above 1400 

o

 F) 

 
1.  Bypass damper is closed, or 

combustor is in operating 
position 

 
2.  Wind gusts blowing down 

chimney 

3.  Opening heater door too fast 
 
 
 
 
1.  Bypass damper is open 
 
 
 
2. Light-off 

not 

obtained 

 
3.  Fuel charge is spent 
 
4.  Combustor coated with fly ash 

or soot 

5.  Heater dampered down too 

much 

 
 
 

 

 
 

1.  Burning materials that produce 

a lot of char and fly ash 

 
2.  Burning wet, pitchy wood or 

burning large loads of small-
diameter wood with the 
combustor in the operating 
position without light-off 
taking place 

 
 
 
 
 
 
1. Extreme temperatures at 

combustor surface can cause 
the catalyst to peel. Over-
firing and flame impingement 
are primary cause 

 
1.  Not maintaining light-off         

temperature 

                 Solution

 

1.  Install Buck draft inducer 
2.  Increase the amount of 

combustion air slowly. 

 
1.  Open bypass damper. In     

retrofit place combustor in 
bypass position before 
opening stove door. 

2.   Install Buck draft inducer 
 
3.  Wait a few seconds after 

opening bypass damper be-
fore opening heater door to 
give smoke a chance to exit 
heater 

1. Once 

light-off 

temperatures 

have been reached and unit is 
stabilized, close bypass 
damper 

2. Follow 

manufacturer’s 

oper-

ating instructions 

3.  Refuel as necessary for com-

bustor operation 

4.  See section on “Combustor 

Related Problems” 

5.  Ensure that proper air mix-

ture and draft are available 
for wood pyrolysis to con-
tinue 

 
 
 
 
1.  Do not burn materials such as 

garbage, gift wrap or 
cardboard 

2.  Burn dry, seasoned wood. 

Don’t place the combustor in 
the operating position until 
high temperatures are high 
enough to initiate light-off. It 
may be possible to burn the 
accumulated soot or creosote 
off by putting the combustor 
in a partially open-partially 
closed position after a “hot” 
fire has been started. 

 
1.  If peeling is severe, remove 

and replace combustor. 
Avoid extreme temperatures. 

 
 
 
1.  Place combustor in a partially 

closed position after a “hot” 
fire has been started to burn 
soot off
