That doesn't sound too bad. At least we can cut about 15' off the length of the liner! :)
Sounds like a good analysis for the firbricks. I will look for a better grade. As for the cleanout door, it doesn't look as if there ever was...
Okay, the news get better. I took the pipe that connects the chimney to the stove off to check it for creosote, and discovered a huge zig-zag crack...
Alright, so I went down to the cleanout, and found a moderate amount of creosote in the cleanout, which I removed. The inside of the liner measures...

Hi, We purchased an Arrow 1800A woodstove a couple months ago to replace our old Earth Stove, which had developed cracks in the woodbox. The stove...
Hi, If you would be so kind as to send yet another copy of the manual for the Arrow 1800A woodstove, I would greatly appreciate it. We just bought...
