Replacing Combustor
It is important to replace your combustor with the same size and thickness as the original one. Note whether the original combustor was banded in metal. The metal band helps to hold the combustor together.
In some cases, the combustor may fit into a holder supplied by the stove manufacturer, which will typically be made out of heavy-duty steel or cast iron. Do not discard this holder, as your new combustor will need to be fitted into it prior to installation.
Some stoves also require a gasket to insure that the combustor fits back into the stove properly and that smoke cannot go around it when it is engaged. Special catalytic gaskets are required to withstand the intense heat around the combustor. These gaskets, such as CatGard™ may fit loosely when first installed, but swell to many times their size when heated. It is sometimes useful to tape the gasket onto the combustor with masking tape to keep it in place. You may leave the ordinary masking tape in place, as it will burn off when the combustor is used. |
