Aside from the things you mentioned, cat stoves are even less tolerant of wet wood than non cats. Fact is that MOST burners don't dry their wood properly. Somewhere along the line, cat stoves got an undeserved bad rap.Woodstock may indeed be where I end up, if for no other reason than a lack of other options, although "mellow" did just post a few other catalytic stove options in another thread. Now knowing just enough about cat and non-cat technologies to be a little dangerous, I'm scratching my head trying to figure out why nearly all of the mainstream stove manufacturers have moved away from catalytic technology. All I can figure is that it probably saves them a lot of headaches in support calls, as the non-cat stoves appear to be simpler and more forgiving for a newbie to operate.
