Hey guys, maybe one of you other Englander 17 owners can help me out here. Does your stove have one gasket or two, around the door glass. Meaning one to the outside, and one to the inside of the glass, or just one gasket stretched over both inside and outside?
I haven't been cleaning my glass lately, as I've been burning some of the rougher stuff and shed floor chunks and bark, so she's a white mess. I cleaned it about the middle of October, when I started burning.
Anyways, I touched the top of the glass because I thought it was making a weird sound when I'd close the door.
Sure enough, it's got some slight play in it. Now, I don't know if tightening the top 2 support bracket screws will fix the problem, or if there should be 2 gaskets, and I never realized.
There was a thread about the Englander wrote up by rob48, and his stove door looked like it had 2 gaskets in the door, so I'm very confused....
I could cinch my top bolts, but I fear cracking the glass and putting my fire machine out of order.
Any thoughts or opinions on this? Could a split bonking the window jar something loose? I noticed the last few days it seems to get roaring pretty good for our temperatures. Nothing over 850 on the flue probe and 600 on the stove front, but that was dialed right back. It doesn't usually run that hard in milder weather. I get the air shut down fairly quick as I don't need much of an inferno to keep the shack warm.
