DIY Burn plate replacement?

[nola mike]

Finishing my 4th season burning the Jotul F602 N. Had a significant overfire last year which I'm sure didn't help the already hurting side burn plates. Also had some difficulty with the secondaries this year which I'm thinking was probably caused by some leaks. Anyway, I think I'm going to rebuild the stove in the off season. I know I've seen posts about people making their own burn plates, but don't remember what the material used was, where to get it, etc. Can't seem to link directly to a parts list, but it's #35. Would rather not spend $150+ for this.

I think you might be overfiring the stove on a regular basis considering the stove is only in its fourth season. I don't of any material that will hold up better than the factory cast iron panels.

Stove is fourth season with me, it's certainly older than that. Had been over fired in its previous life: https://www.hearth.com/talk/threads/jotul-602-n.64379/#post-809946
