When to Replace Your Combustor


Proper maintenance will increase the combustor's effectiveness and prevent many problems. Inspect your combustor before each heating season, and during the season if your stove's performance seems to change.

How to tell when you need a new combustor

A visual inspection of your combustor will reveal any obvious problems, but it doesn't tell the entire story. Sometimes what appears to be a flawless combustor will be failing to do its job properly. In addition to a visual inspection, your stove's performance will tell you a lot about the how the combustor is functioning and whether it needs to be replaced. Some signs to look for:

  • Decreased Heat Output
  • Creosote Accumulation
  • Sluggish Preformance
  • Smoke from Your Chimney
  • Any Physical Damage as Shown Below
