    All catalytic wood burning stoves have a bypass device which allows the smoke from the fire to temporarily bypass, or go around, the catalyst. In Blaze King models, the bypass is located just behind the catalyst. The bypass is a heavy steel plate, hinged inside the stove, and is controlled by the bypass handle on the right front of the stove.
