Welcome to Callahan Catalytic Refractory Wood Stove Dampers we reburn wood stove soot

You know about catalytic converters for cars, my catalytic converter is designed for the older model wood stoves. When placed in your stove pipe it removes some smoke, creosote and offers better combustion. Reduces wood consumption by at least 1/3. My damper is not treated with special metals, it doesn't become contaminated by what you burn like other catalysts do. To read how it works I have written very clearly in  Section 5 HOW IT WORKS of my patent : #4,643,862. The biggest difference between my patent and the 13 other patents, mine does not have to be coated with precious metals to work, making it more affordable.

Tried and true for 41 years

Callahan Catalytic Refractory Wood Stove Damper

 · In 1642 a wood stove damper was made to control draft and smoke, was made to be mounted in the stove pipe no more than 12"-18" from stove top. Keeping this distance ratio in mind when stoves were built better and tighter the damper would need to be lowered to maintain this ratio. In the 20th century we figured out these dampers were also burning soot, which starts to burn at 440 degrees. My damper is a mass of refractory material operating at 1400 degrees, 4" above the stove top is a great soot burner.

Callahan Catalytic Refractory Wood Stove Damper

 · The concept of soot reburning through a damper placed close to the stove top is indeed rooted in the principles of thermodynamics. Cast iron dampers can provide similar results when placed correctly, but the efficiency difference noting with refractory material is understandable given their superior heat retention and distribution properties. It can be challenging to explain these principles to people who might not have a background in thermodynamics or stove design. Sometimes a visual demonstration or a simplified explanation can help bridge the gap in understanding. Soot starts to burn at 440 degrees Fahrenheit: By positioning the damper close to the stove top, you ensure that the soot reaches this ignition temperature.The refractory damper operates at 1400 degrees Fahrenheit: This high temperature ensures complete combustion of the soot, leading to cleaner and more efficient burning

   Your stove Catalytic Converter works a lot better than the most expensive ones that I've had in my stove.


EVERETT  Langley, WA   1-20-1987

   I'm quite pleased with the Catalytic stove damper I bought from you a few weeks ago. I have 2 identical wood stoves in my house and I wish to order another damper for my other stove.


BRIAN  Port Angeles, WA   10-10-1989

   I would like to order a Catalytic damper for my wood stove. This is to replace the one that is currently installed, when it finally wears out. I've been using your damper for about 5 years now, and they really seem to improve the performance of the stove, as well as decreasing the amount of wood required. 


STEVE  Greenfield, MA   10--20-1986

   I recently purchased one of your Catalytic stove dampers and I have been very happy with it. I have several friends that would be interested in purchasing  one. Could you please send me half a dozen of your brochures to give them.
