While my wife and I were eating dinner (just re-loaded the stove) I heard a loud POP coming from the woodstove. I walked over to inspect i and saw a very large crack in the middle of the right hand door (door with handle) starting at the bottom and going up about 5 inches... Couldn't close the door completely - was kind of scary because i had a full load of wood in the firebox...
ANyhoo... this is a huge problem because now i can't use my woodstove. Was wondering if there are any good place to get stove replacement parts for a 20+ year old stove? Could i somehow safely seal the crack (eventhough the doors won't line up properly now) or do i have to get a replacement door? Or should i suck it up and use the tax credit and buy a brand new stove?
