As Tony stated. May last for years or with the use of some good hot pellets just disintegrate. May want to find a new one to have on hand for when it may happen or just replace before the season starts and be happy with the many years it gave.

agree...
just when you have found the hottest pellets you ever burned, SNAP
[maybe]i would think about at least having one on hand if or when...
I have a spare ignitor and a new circuit board as backups but that's my personal breakdown fears...
Thanks everyone! I assume at some point it will implode. Is it a difficult job to replace the burn pot? Never done it. Best place to buy parts? I have been using Mountain View Hearth Products.

I'm not sure about your P43 but I removed the burn pot on my Invincible a couple of years ago with no problems at all. Just the 4 nuts holding it on which loosened easily, had it off in a few minutes. I did have to use a new gasket when I put it back. Luckily I had a sheet of gasket material on hand so could easily cut one myself. BTW now that Brunner's is gone does anyone know a good place to get sheets of gasket material?
