Thanks for the additional information. Was your stove a 3000?

I have a chance to buy one at a discount store that buys insurance claims. Think I could get one similar to yours (a 2000) for about $360. Figure if I could get a couple seasons out of it maybe ii could get a better one. How soon did yours crack? I won't be able to turn anything in for warranty.I have a similar model. 2500LN bought at tractor supply. This is my 5th year heating. I have had my stove replaced once under warranty for cracking at the corners on the opening for the fire box( where the door seals against. The new stove is doing the same. I did drill out the ends of the cracks last year and that seemed to stop the cracks. Until this year as one has spread some. This time I will be grinding the corners rounded and weld the cracks along with some reinforcing on the inside. This will wait till spring but will be keeping a close eye on it till then. Great size and works great. I built a 12" high hearth for the replacement stove made loading much easier. Enjoy the heat but keep an eye on the corners of the firebox opening. They were very responsive on warranty and it is possible they have remedied the issues but I remember reading some others having the same problems.
Gotta burn that a bit more often. It's gathering moths.Here are the photos of the initial opening of the vent.
The baffle area had more debris that was hidden from the view.
I was thinking about you guys today when I saw the weather forecast, you can keep all the white goldOAT: 28*F/ IAT 72*F avg./ST 475*F/Minimum damper/79*F at the stove.
The snow is coming down! The outer areas of the house are 72*. The room with the stove is 79*. Would probably drop to 76/77 if the duct fan were running. 79* is more than we like but since blizzard like conditions exist outside I really do not care.
We probably have more than 12". The problem with this Piedmont snow is it usually gets slushy underneath which makes it difficult to remove. I went out earlier when there was a lot of powder on top but the bottom 2" clogs the blower or will capture the driveway stones when I use the plow. It's all good. We don't have anywhere to go. Thanks for thinking of us.I was thinking about you guys today when I saw the weather forecast, you can keep all the white gold
The same exact thing happened to me, I just got rid of the stove, it wasn't worth fighting the company for a warranty problem imo, I also had issues with the secondary reburn tube mounts, when I went to pull the baffle board out I had to take the first two tubes out, the screws that hold the mounting clips just sheered off, had to redrill and tape new holes, it was a huge pain just to clean the chimney out.
Lesson learned, never buy a stove from China, yes the stove provided good heat, decent burn times but the rest was not worth it, I also vented my frustration about the stove cracking in the door corners here and there was a US stove rep that was just a pompous jerk that replied, I lost faith with the company (especially when you see how BK handles there customer issues) that's why I said it wasn't worth fighting the warranty problem.
