Hey look a Cawley, Im swimming in client Cawleys in my shop right now. 4 of em are 600s like this. Haha

What you have seems to be just water condensing in the cracks and expanding the overflow cement and it dries looking like that.

What you can do, because the cement is for sure getting old. Is take all the internal parts out, get a bright flashlight and turn off the room lights. Run the flashlight on the seams along the top and sides/bottom from the inside, out.

If you see any light coming through anywhere, than its officially time for a rebuild. You could try stuffing cement in there from the outside. But thats not how it works. The stuff you see is just overflow from the channel.

First thing to happen when the cements starts to fail, is the fire gets too much air, gets super hot over the ignition grid, and cracks the sides of the cook plate up front.

And I love you have the original fire screen. If you ever let go of this stove, please keep me in mind. For the screen at the very least ha

Thank you so much for your reply! I’ll try the flashlight trick. My guess is I’ll still see no light leaking out. This stove my father owned his whole life in the cabin I’m moving to. I don’t think the stove ever saw over 400degrees
You just couldn’t it’s packed into. a tiny 750 foot cabin. And when we turn down to 3 stove pearls along much cooler than that never really have ever had a heat up issue yet.
Do you have a contact number or a shop name. If I need a rebuild your my guy. Also state your located. Thank you so much!!
