Steelcat combustors have longer burn time more heat.

Ceramic vs steel catalytic combustor.

However combustors using a metal substrate are becoming more popular with wood stove owners. Catalytic stoves can help you save up to 1 3 on wood costs. Superior performance steel combustors heat up faster. Click here to learn about the advantages of steel catalysts.

Over time much like a combustor these steel components may require replacement to keep the stove functioning correctly and to keep it within epa emission requirements for non catalytic stoves.

Steel heats up faster than ceramic so it recovers more usable heat from wood smoke.
