    Englander 24-ACD What size catalytic combustor do I need?

    Englander 24-ACD/50-SHW24 Manual says 1inch and 3 inch. The housing unit I ordered is apparently 2 inches. Was able to find one to be delivered here on Tuesday. Without the housing unit, it measures 2inches tall inside the stove. I’d imagine it’d be 3 inches? But maybe I’m wrong. I’m going to...

    BK Ashford 30 cat question

    Hello all, I throw the cat when the needle point to active. But that is sometimes when there is a new load of wood (and when I haven't been home, or haven't been paying attention, sometimes cold wood). Question: Is it ok to have the converter running with a big load of new wood? Seems it is...

    It is in good shape but have a few questions for anyone in the know: 1. After looking in the smoke outlet, I noticed a mouse ate a 1 inch hole on the far left top of the catalytic chamber (see pic). Can I still use the cat chamber and/or is there a way to patch it? 2. Is there a small plate on...

    Catalytic converter substitute?

    I have a friend’s old Vermont Castings Encore 2550 with the catalytic converter design. He burned some semi-moist wood and cracked the Cat (a second time), so he decided to get a new stove without one. Before he set it outside in the weather, the Cat was removed and discarded. 3-4 years later...

    new to the forum. I've ended up with a Hearthstone Harvest model 8402. The previous owner advertised it as a Heritage - about 15 years old, and said they had verified this with Hearthstone, but after moving it home, a closer looked revealed that it is a Harvest.
