I have a wood stove in my house that has a catalytic converter that makes
it clean burning. It is made by the Corning Corp. and consists of an about
6 inch round cylindrical object 2 inches thick with a ceramic honeycomb
that has catalyst coated on it. A recent replacement cost me about $100. It
is too small for the Tozan but maybe Corning makes a biger one or if enough
money can be found we could make a cast iron plate with a dozen or two of
them in it that would let the volume of gasses generated by Tozan pass
through. I think the thing is coated with a platinum coating and in use it
gets very hot. My stove has a little flat disk thermometer right in the top
of the converter and it registers about 1000 deg.F. while the stove is
burning. There is an air inlet just below the converter so the air mixes
with the smoke and then goes through the converter where it is oxidized.
Probably if we bought two dozen we could get them wholesale.
What are the inside dimensions of the chimney?
