The guy that owns this website used to own Upland Stove Company. Tell him you have a warranty claim. :lol:
 
If you could get that part, it would be very expensive.......

There were also a couple various backs over the years - mostly likely you have the one with the 45 degree angled 7" flue, but they were also made with a 6" 45 - and then, when I took over, we made a switchable top and rear vent with a blanking plate.

When it comes to a 30+ year old stove, it's often time to fudge it back together (most cracks can be patched one way or another) or scrap it.

One outside chance you can take is to shoot an email to Nu-tec of RI

Make sure you tell them which style of back you have.
 
I wouldn't even weld them in most cases - just use a mending plate or two and then some furnace cement on the inside. The plate can be a piece of 24 ga ss, etc. either drilled and tapped into the casting on both sides of the crack, or through bolted with #6 or #8 ss .

The interior of that stove rear plate should have a liner in it - they used to hang some cast plates about an inch inside the rear, but again a piece of ss would do nicely, especially with some bends in it.
 
And after you do all of that you will have an in-efficient, smoke belching piece of crap burning in your house with a patch on it.

Sorry webmaster. It was a beauty in it's day. Now it is worth thirty cents a pound at the scrap yard. But it helped finance one hell of a wood burning website.
 
Sorta like that 1964 GTO or 442.......
:lol:

The word is classic.....
BTW, these are nowhere near the smoke dragons that the big Fishers and other big boxes were - the fireboxes were much smaller and they used a front to back method of burning (ala Jotul).

But they probably do throw off 5x the pollution of a newer model.
