Roughly one year ago I posted a thread titled "The chimney is clean" about my struggles with the wood stove at my parents' farm.
The stove is a Vermont Castings Dutchwest with a catalytic converter.
Fired it up when it got chilly back in October, and what a mess. Would not burn. Puffed smoke into the house out from under the lid until it warmed up.
So when it got warm again, I pulled the top cover off, sealed all the visible seams with a heavy bead of furnace cement, poked out all the holes in the catalytic converter grate (some were plugged), and installed new rope seal on the top cover.
Fired it yesterday. It's a whole different stove. Not even the slightest hint of smoke smell in the house. No puffing.
So knock on wood, I won't freeze to death this winter.
