my 20yr old buck stove model 91has a crack inside. The crack does not appear to go all the way through the stove. I am looking a Pacific Energy Summit. How do the two compare? I assume the insert is not salvageable?

For some people, they want that instant gratification or an answer right away, who knows, perhaps this member is very busy working 2 jobs with 4 small kids at home, it shouldn't matter for us, this site is here to help people.
I would be inclined to wire brush the area, and then use my finger to force refractory cement into the crack. Then after a day, put another thin coating on the crack and smooth it with a damp sponge. Wait 24hrs then do a smallish fire to cure it. I suspect it would last for years.
