Catalytic stoves employ a catalyst, often composed of palladium or platinum which reduces the temperature of ignition for combustion gases. This ensures all gases are burned and results in a cleaner, less polluting burn. Due to their thorough combustion they can also keep burning for longer.
Modern non-catalytic stoves utilize baffles and stainless steel tubes that relight the gasses that are lingering and start secondary combustion. This reduces the amount of unburned gases that travel up the chimney and results in an impressive active flame display. Non-catalytic stoves are generally easier to operate and do not require the regular cleaning or replacement of a catalyst.
Non-catalytical and catalytical stoves can be used conjunction with venting devices that allow them to burn hard and soft wood at the same efficiency. Two options will help you make the most of your wood, and also find the perfect wood-burning stove that fits your home.
