Here you go Dmitry

Amazon product ASIN B07HCNYSX2
Don't panic about the 1 left. Amazon said there was 1 left for me too and it appeared true. But, a day later, there is now another one and the story of only 1 left is back.

Want to take a pic of that flame deflector for me? Did you go through two cats this season? I seem to get only 2 seasons out of mine. I burn wood as the primary source of heat, but these damn things should last longer. I am hoping the one in there now degraded because it moved or was not installed properly and was to far towards the glass and flames. It was not sitting back on the shelf properly.
Any updates on using metal vs ceramic combustor. Do you see the difference ?
