We have a CDW Sequoia (Model 455), 1988-89 version, that we have used all winter long as a primary heat source since it was installed new. It has never been on legs, but sits flat on a hearth, as it has since the day it was installed. We have no one locally who can inspect it for us to look for damage from broken welds. How and where should I look outside of the firebox. With the top removed and the catalytic converter visible the top welds were cracked and have been resealed, but how about the bottom? The inside of the firebox looks okay, but it has had increased problems in the past couple of years maintaining long burn times, suggesting a leak. Gaskets have been replaced and are in good shape.
Any advice or suggestions appreciated.
