• Treated wood
• Tea Tree
• Oil Based woods
• Coal
• Garbage
• Cardboard
• Solvents
• Colored Paper
• Trash
Burning treated wood, garbage, solvents, colored
paper or trash may result in release of toxic
fumes and may poison or render ineffective the
catalytic combustor. Burning coal, cardboard, or
loose paper can produce soot, or large flakes of
char or fly ash that can coat the combustor, caus-
ing smoke spillage into the room, and rendering
the combustor ineffective.

Refueling with Wet Wood
High Draft
Fly-Ash Build-up
Combustor has not maintained light-off
temperature.
Fly-Ash Masking
Combustor has not maintained light-off
temperature.

and fly-ash.
Closing the bypass too soon
Thermal Cracking
Uneven temperatures, flame impingement
and heat spikes.
Mechanical Cracks
Combustor mishandled or abused.
Distortion of combustor holder.
Plugging (Creosote)
Burning wet, pitchy woods or burning large
loads of small diameter wood with the
combustor in the operating position without
light-off ever occurring.

lightly.
Do not burn cardboard, gift wrap or garbage.
Follow instructions for proper light-off.
If cracking causes large pieces to fall out, replace combustor.
Handle combustor with care. Replace if necessary.
Replace combustor is large pieces are missing, replace any
warped stove parts as well.
Burn dried seasoned wood. Make sure combustor has light-
off before closing the bypass damper. It may be possible to
burn off the soot or creosote accumulation by putting the
combustor in a partially open and partially closed position
after a hot fire has been started.
Place combustor in a partially open and partially position after
a hot fire has been started to burn off the soot accumulation.
Revert to burning wood and fire the combustor to elevated
