Englander 32NC - over fire at 650?

[ckr74]

Drill and tap, two set screws. Easy fix but kind of ugly.

Was able to get a pic of the secondary burners this morning.

Video of the stove burning. Fully shutdown, secondaries are firing. ST temp is 500, flue probe is 700. It feels like the temps are holding, actually dropping very slowly and under control. Definitely throwing nice amount of heat.

If the handle sleeve fit is pretty tight you could even glue it in with something like jbweld or even some rtv silicone. It’s not doing anything but keeping the handle from sliding off.

It’s not tight at all. The door latch diameter is just over 1/2” and the i.d. of the handle is about .57”.

Looked into JB weld; looks like it’s good just past 400 degrees, which I think is cutting it close due to the location. Was thinking maybe stove cement, but it has a tendency to crack/chip when it gets moved around.

Your door gasket is glued in place with ultra black rtv silicone. I bet that would work here too and if not, no big deal.

JB Weld was my first thought too. It would be fine.

EDIT: Just checked our stove's door handle in that same area. It's 175º with a 550º stovetop. And the handle below the metal shaft is wood.

Jbweld is awfully permanent.

Jbweld is awfully permanent.

Isn't the idea to make it like the 30NC?

Rather than big ugly bolts perhaps some small hex set screws would keep the handle removeable and look discreet.

Not afraid of commitment!

That’s what I was thinking; small black hex screws that would tighten down to the surface. I think it would look good.

Going to talk to someone about it tomorrow. Depending on how that goes, I’ll either go the set screw route or pick up some JB weld.
