Catalytic Combustors for Wood-Burning Appliances

In a very broad sense, the catalytic combustor is a smoke afterburner. Unburned by-products of the wood fire are burned more completely as they pass through the combustor.

Hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide from the wood burning process combine with the available oxygen and ignite. The catalyst, without being consumed, speeds up the reaction at much lower temperatures. Below 1,000°F (500°C), this reaction is flameless and colorless. The resulting compounds are carbon dioxide and water, and heat
