When I was researching what unit to by to fill our needs, there wasn't a whole lot of fuss over the actual performance of the new units with the secondary burn system, but more that people with the older non compliant systems would eventually be required to update before they needed toROG62 » 29 Jun 2023, 6:33 am » wrote: ↑ Sounds like a nice unit...you'll make AOC happy...
hell, for a few more bucks they'll probably come over and load it for ya as well...lol
Ours doesn't have the catalytic unit for the secondary burn... just the air tubes and a capture system that returns the initial gasses through a chamber to be burned again. It only really works as intended above a certain temp range too, so if the fire is too cool, it isn't as efficient.
The ideal scenario is the air intake just barely cracked open feeding a super hot bed of coals with just a glint of fire riding across the top of the chamber where the secondary burn is taking place. The fireplace "blaze" is pretty to look at, but once I get the coals and the air tubes working right, it will stay nice and toasty without having to tend it much for hours.
