Allright it was really bugging me that I posted something on another thread saying the VC 2in1 had secondary combustion going on at the same time that the catalyst was burning and everyone was telling me I was wrong. I distinctly remembered the dealer I was talking to taking the stove apart and telling me that there was a secondary burn going on before it got to the catalyst and he was also telling me that was one of the reasons that the catalyst was half the size of the normal catalyst becasue of this.
Anyways I started searching for info on the 2in1 design and what do you know the first google hit was a hearth.com thread with a video of a factory tour/demo at VC having to do with the 2 in1. Take a look at the video link I posted and start watching it at about the 2 minute mark. This is exactly how the dealer explained it to me when he was taking the stove apart and showing me the refractory materials. Just as a siade note the dealer still told me he would rathe have a T6 than the 2in1 as he said they still had a ways to go before he would recomend them after the buyout.
