Installation of a new EPA-certified Catalytic Stove

Improper installation of your woodstove can result in a house fire or cause greater pollution.
If a stove isn't installed properly, it can also affect the draft of the stove. Proper draft is very important in reducing pollution and maintaining high efficiency. Before having your stove installed, be sure to check with local authorities regarding building codes and permits, and notify your fire insurance company.

Below are a few tips that address the importance of proper installation:

1. By using a certified installer, they can determine the proper draft of your stove, make sure all the seals are tight, and ensure that your stove is installed with all safety measures necessary.

2. They will be able to make sure proper flue size and installation is being used.

3. They will make sure that the draft system seals are as tight as possible to prevent smoke from leaking into your house and to contribute to good draft.

Contact your local certified wood stove installer for complete details.

Again, this is very important for your safety and comfort.

About Tim Cork

Hi, my name is Tim Cork and if you are visiting my site for the first time, I want to thank you for stopping by and hope you will return again soon. I will have new postings every 2 to 3 days.

Just to give you a brief background on myself, I have worked in the woodstove industry for over 27 years. I am retired now and have had many wonderful years of working with catalytic woodstove manufacturers around the world. In addition, I have had the pleasure of working with dealers, distributors, chimney sweeps, consumers and environmental agencies like the United States Environmental Protection Agency.
Over the years I have gathered a world of knowledge from these people and with the help of this site I hope to share with you many interesting articles and perhaps helpful information related to catalytic combustors, catalytic woodstoves and the industry itself.
Again, please visit with me regularly for new topics and what I hope to be very informative articles.
I hope you will feel at liberty to share with me your experiences, comments and questions as well.

Know what you're shopping for

Look for the FIRECAT brand. It's a name you can trust.

Over the last 20 years I have seem several brands of catalytic combustors available to the woodstove industry.

Only the FIRECAT catalytic combustor was available in the early 80's and still available today.

FIRECAT's quality and committment by it's producer is second to none.

FIRECAT catalytic combustors are available for any catalytic stove model ever built.

FIRECAT has been the choice of most catalytic stove manufacturers for the last 15 years.

FIRECAT catalytic combustors are made to the stove manufacturer's specifications. Their catalytic stoves were designed to perform based on the combustor's size and cell density. (cell openings)
This is why FIRECAT catalytic combustors are manufactured in 16 cpi, 20 cpi and 25 cpi (cells per square inch)
Cell size and thickness of the combustor, controls the flow rate and residence time for the gases to burn while passing through the combustor. This is very important.

The FIRECAT brand is sold by more distributors and dealers than any other brand on the market.

How do I know this, because I sold the FIRECAT brand for the last 20 years to distributors, dealers, consumers and to the catalytic stove manufacturers.
