Thanks in advance for anyone who can help me.
I have a 1980 Orley Mfg MH 10742, J29565 with a Mfg date of 12/1980. Seems to be a solid, hard-working stove in a Colorado cabin I bought this spring. I believe the existing stove is a grandfathered legal unit in my locale, and all the exhaust and stack have been replaced by a reputable installer. However, just this weekend I discovered the glass panes on the front rattle tremendously when the fire drafts. There are currently no gaskets of any kind around either of the two layers of glass. The glass panes slide in from the side, with very little "slop", so I doubt I could fit any large diameter "rope" stove gasket. I was examining some of the thinner self-adhesive window gasket tape, but started reading a number of postings about avoiding sealing the entire pane to allow for airwash on some units.
I've called around to 4 of the "Orley's" dealers in Oregon, but none claim to have any operating manuals on this older unit and I cannot seem to find anyone. Can any of you provide some welcome advice before I start experimenting via trial and error?
Thanks.
