Hello, I keep a tea pot on top of our wood stove. It is there for a couple of reason one is that if we are in a different room then where the stove is I can tell how hot the stove is getting by the whistle the tea pot is making. I have it setting on the top side of the stove. Well tonight the stove-top was down to around 200 so I added wood like I always do. It started and was JUST starting to burn good the stove-top was around 250-300 when all of a sudden the whistle part blew off and water shot everywhere about 2qts! It blew a good 4 feet and really not any steam to speak of. What happened? We have cats that like to lay around the stove and sure don't want them to get brunt with hot water. The stove was not heating up any faster then normal. The tea-pot whistle was not plugged so don't know why it blew off.
Thanks for any help/thoughts.
