That's where my ultra's door is loosest too. There is no adjustment other than tightening the latch which you need to do. If that doesn't work then pop in a new gasket.

How do I do this? Tighten the handle side? Looks like there's two small screws sort of hidden under the gasket. Or do I adjust the other end maybe a full turn?

The catch on front of stove. Use a 9/16 wrench.

Procedure and specific brand name of lube to be used please. I intend to do mine this year as the shaft is binding making it hard to hear the damper clacking shut. Oil -even the oil in anti seize- can eventually oxidize, acidify, carbonize, polymerize and cause worse binding with time. Can it be applied externally or must the box be opened? What works. I used to use powdered graphite on linotypes but it has problems too.

 

[Ashful]

I could have done it for you!

Now, that would have been serious customer service! VPs aren’t supposed to get anti-seize under their manicured fingernails, tho. [emoji12]

You’re thinking way too hard about this. Grab whatever tube of anti-seize or moly lube you have in the garage, and butter a little on the disc washer. Plan to revisit it every third year, or thereabouts.

I have a 32 ounce can of anti seize...lest you forget...multi Chevy muscle car restorations!

the new ashford 30 was ordered today in pewter. So I guess I have to change my signature. Any one need a Jotul Oslo in brown enamel?

Then use a dry type lubricant. such as this:

I set the Cold Iron Watch in March so now it is time for maintenance. Sweepers... I think I'll grease the thermostat and flip-flop valve. Gaskets are good, not much else to do. Already did the annual window cleaning- wet paper towel dipped in ashes trick. 80s next week. Summer is here. Wood shed is stuffed, time to scrounge up wood for 2020. Next light-off in November. Nothing heats like solid fuel. Time to get the Lance trailer ready for summer adventures.

So, until light-off, TNX QSO
73s/88 es CUL
DE KF6HAP SK SK CL ..

My parents have the same one you won't regret it! Just make sure to check the door after a few fires. Ours was way too loose.

Your wife is going to wonder why you’re running the AC and stove at the same time, so... yes. It pays to keep them wondering.

 

[tarzan]
