Stove is back together.....do I need to do three burn fires again?

[remkel]

Got the stove back together and was about to light it when I thought, "do I need to do three burn in fires again?"

Any thoughts?

I doubt it, but the moderators will reply shortly

If it is a brand new top, I'd guess yes. If you need three break in fires to cure the stove when new, why not with a new replacement top? Even if the consensus is no, I think I'd do so for peace of mind. Good luck Remi! Cheers!

I tend to think I am going to err on the side of caution here. Have to cure the new paint anyhow....nice surprise for the family when they get home.

After ordering cast replacement parts for my VC encore (sold), I remember reading somewhere you can break them in by putting them in the oven and gradually increasing the temp. I think it was something like 50 degrees every 30 minutes up to 500 degrees or something like that. I think this may have come from Black Swan but don't quote me on that. I'm not sure if this is actually a safe, proven method or not but it is a lot quicker that 3 break in fires.

Just lit the first fire.....think I will stick to tried and true.

I don't blame you, roasting a combustion throat hood in my oven did seem a little weird. I'm wondering if anyone else ever did the oven thing for replacement parts, just curious.

Never did the oven cure, always went with the three slow burns and never had a problem.

If the burn off of the throat hood was anything close to what my new stove gave off on it's first burn, you'd be eating a toxic roast in the doghouse
