I bought this Esse Dragon Mark 1 from London yesterday.

It is lovely and if I can get it to work will be in the hearth.


It arrived and there are a few problems.

The major one is a hole in the back. I know the mica and seals can be replace but can the hole in the stove be repaired? It also has a part siezed up.
Any help would be appreciated.

With some patience & penetrating oil, parts will loosen up. Holes can be patched.
