  • Fits perfectly, works great.
Size: 2.5" x 13" x 2" Ceramic
Running the stove hot with the new converter I almost never get smoke from the chimney. Guess my old one was worn out.

  • Fits well, does the job.
Size: 2.5" x 13" x 2" Ceramic
This is a necessary part to keep the stove functioning efficiently. However, it’s not the best design as it seems to last only a few years before needing replacement. The honeycomb is very fragile and cracks easily when there’s any moisture in the wood. Best to burn only well seasoned pieces and to keep the temperature from getting too hot as it will cause the honeycomb to crack. ... show more

  • Stove Heats Much Faster Now
Size: 2.5" x 13" x 2" Ceramic
I bought a Vermont Casting Winterwarm fireplace insert in 1997. I'm not very good at reading instruction manuals so I never knew I needed to replace the Catalytic Combustor. The stove was still heating the house to a comfortable temperature of around 74° with a combustor that was 23 years old. I was reading an article about wood stoves and the article was saying to replace your catalyst ever 5 years or 500 hours of use. I went online to see what I had to do to replace the catalyst and I took the stove apart to get to the Catalytic Combustor. I posted a picture with this review of the old combustor after almost 23 years of use. I got my new combustor the day after I placed the order. I got it installed - put the stove back together and started a fire to test it out. Wow! Replacing the combustor made a huge difference. The house heated up much faster and now the temperature was up 78°. I'm not having to use as much wood either to fuel the fire. I've only been using this combustor for a few weeks, but I'm highly satisfied with it's performance. ... show more

  • Doesn't fit my Defiant stove
Size: 2.5" x 13" x 2" Ceramic
The unit is 1/4" too long and I am not able to install it. Otherwise it looks well made.

  • Great value
Size: 2.5" x 13" x 2" Ceramic
This was at least $100 cheaper than the competitors. Also, I bought the cheaper cardboard type version and they sent me the much more expensive metal clad version at no additional cost. Highly recommend.
