"Catalytic combustors deteriorate, baffles warp, gaskets crack, and dampers stick." Although the grams-per-hour figures mentioned above may not be achieved at home, they do provide a good basis for comparing stoves - much as miles-per-gallon tests are used to compare fuel efficiency in automobiles.

Woodburning's new age

Once a catalytic combustor reaches its "light-off" point of about 500[degrees]F, it continues to burn nearly all the smoke passing through it.
