We recently bought a house that had a Yotul V3 Oslo. It's our first wood stove and we are in LOVE! Great stove!

No way will a catalyst last 20 years especially if your a 24/7 burner during the winter.

What exactly does "industry-leading close clearances to combustibles" mean, when you're talking about the catalytic combustor, and what is the benefit? It could mean that the CC is close to the wood, and close to the fire, which could cause the fire to touch the CC, and possibly damage it. But in the demo it sounds like he's talking about the area behind the CC, because the absence of a damper would maybe make it so the barrier between the secondary air baffle is thinner? Is that what it means?

And what is the benefit? Does it mean the CC would make the area above the wood (in the tertiary burn chamber behind the CC) hotter, and that's good for the fire in some way? I'd appreciate a bit of an explanation so I understand the significance of this claim about having "close clearances to combustibles."

I agree with @Joe-fi2ir to a point. The EPA is to blame for this. Catalytic combustors are a gimmick. They are a quick fix to getting emissions down. More maintenance and they will fail. If you operate the stove “without” the catalyst you are going to be worse off and less efficient than if manufacturers would have just built an efficient stove without a catalytic combustor to begin with. I really liked Jotul but since they started using a catalyst I will not buy one. If you can find a older Jotul “pre 2020” before they started using a catalyst that would be the way to go.
