It has the catalytic. Also has a blower fan.
Dad wanted one without the cat but could not find one.
It is a bit big for the house. It will run us out.

We have used stoves without the cats and they would burn a long time.
The cats are used to try and clean the air just like on vehicles.
So far we cannot get the stove to burn all night like the others we have used.

Nice to see it has warmed up to 20F ! Brought home a used truck camper from Homer and it had sit the driveway for a week. It was to cold to get those electric jacks to work.
