6 seasons and she still looks young

[begreen]

We had a nice break in the weather today so I took advantage and let the fire go out so that I could clean up the stove and dump some ash out. After I was done I had to take a picture. She's finished the 6th season very well. I'm impressed at how well the paint stands up. It looks like new still.

Seems like just yesterday you were picking that up in Bellingham with your liitle gray truck.

Yeah, time is going too quickly.

Looks great BG. I am not too surprised that the paint job I did on the 30 is still pristine. Five coats done outside and fired the stove between each coat.

Well, I lie. I am surprised.

It looks great! Just curious, how long do door gaskets normally last you?

That Stove Bright paint is impressive stuff!

Great looking stove BG! I paint my stove at the end of every season and right now it doesn't look anywhere near as good as yours. The ash lip and top of mine gets dingy looking. I think the top is from constantly wiping the dust off.

Funny, I just noticed mine had come out on the top of the door. That would make it two years for mine.

I replaced the door gasket last fall. It probably could have gone another season.

Tack it back in with a couple spots of adhesive.

When I had the Resolute it needed a paint job every other year. I was anticipating this with the T6 and hesitant to buy a painted stove after being spoiled by enameled Jotuls. This is a pleasant surprise. The stove still looks close to new after going through about 15 cords of wood. To keep it looking good all I do is vacuum off any dust then give it a wipe down with a slightly dampened towel.

Wow 6 years already?! I remember how happy you were! Are we starting to show our soft sides?
Funny how some of us can remember our "install dates/anniversaries" but can't remember our "anniversaries". Lmao!

Your stove still looks great and I am still trying to convince the wife to let me get rid of the summit! So I can get one
