Basically, a substrate material such as cordierite, is plated with two or more precious metals. During the combustion process, the gases that are released result in friction between the plating materials, which can create extremely high temperatures. Since smoke and other gases are load with energy, the catalyst coverts these into usable heat fro your home.

A You can use pretty much any type of wood as long as it has not been chemically treated with preservatives etc. Standard cordwood split one additional time is good for optimal burning/heating. Lengths the stoves can handle are as follows:

The biggest restriction to your flames is the catylitic converter(cat) that is installed on late model cars to burn off excess fuel before it leaves the exaust system, because the flamethrower system relies on unburnt fuel coming out the exaust to create flames the cat may reduce the size of flame you will get.

Most of our Northern White Cedar is harvested from Vermont, with a small additional amount from the Adirondacks in New York.

Ned seems to have an affinity for hard maple, as nearly every model was first made in that hardwood. They were all pretty much changed to other offerings in the later Gibson years. We've combed through all of the old lit and here's our best guess so far (in order of introduction): P series - Hard maple, also listed as rock maple. Chances are this wood was used for it's entire, brief production run as a graphite neck model.
