Introduction
What you have in your hands is not the greatest wood burning device
ever invented – it is just the manual for the greatest wood burning
device ever invented.
Catalyst is the world’s first smart wood stove. We built the Catalyst
around state-of-the-art combustion techniques and using a
revolutionary smart controller that delivers efficient, clean, and safe
burning for you and your family.
As a result, we’ve won a few prizes. In the 2013 Wood Stove Design
Challenge, the prototype Catalyst won the Low Emissions Prize. In the
2014 Wood Stove Design Challenge, the Catalyst won the Grand Prize.
In the MIT Clean Energy Prize, the Catalyst won the Energy Efficiency
Prize and the People’s Choice Award. Not a bad track record.
Before we built Catalyst we talked to hundreds of wood stove users,
and we heard the same thing over and over. Traditional wood stoves
are dirty, inefficient, and difficult to operate. We made Catalyst
differently. Unlike traditional wood stoves, with Catalyst all you need to
do is load it, light it, and lock it, and you can enjoy a clean and efficient
fire.
We at MF Fire are determined to give you a different experience than
with any other wood stove. We want every fire to be easy and
enjoyable.
If you ever have any questions, give us a call at 1-855-MFFire1 or
shoot us an email at info@mffire.com. We’re happy to help at any time.
Thank you for your purchase of the Catalyst and welcome to the MF
Fire Family!
Sincerely,
The MF Fire Team
