    Advice on 1989 Resolute Acclaim

    Please let me know what maintenance I should be doing on a little-used Resolute Acclaim. Back in '89 I bought a Resolute Acclaim and installed it in a 24 x 24 room in a farm accessory building. The room also has a ceiling mounted NG heater, so the stove doesn't get much use. I love to run it...
