Well the stove was down for 3 days. After taking the whole things apart new cement, new gaskets, new paint, and a new cat the stove is burning better than ever. Just a slight adjustment on the air control is like turning a thermostat. What a difference I didn't realize how bad it was until I did this it was worth every penny. Thanks all for the tips and advice
