"What took you so long?"

"What took you so long?" The words of my brother in law as we watched the catalyst glow for the first time yesterday in my first modern stove (Blaze King Princess). I've been heating full-time with non-cat, non-secondary stoves for over 15 years and simply couldn't afford a proper new stove. I've just dealt with the short burns vs. creosote compromise because I had to.

Holy crap. This an entirely different world.
