Hi

Nope.. I'm not having a problem

Yet I keep hearing of the need to rebuild stoves on this forum. Makes me wonder if anyone has had to rebuild their woodstock PH

I keep hearing of the need to rebuild stoves

Look at the type of stove. Usually it's cast iron bolted together stoves that need to be rebuilt as the gaskets/goop between the chunks of plate fall out. Welded steel stoves should never need to be rebuilt. Have you ever heard of someone needing to rebuild a Woodstock? Any Woodstock? I haven't.
 
Still most likely too early in the Progress Hybrid line to even be considering a rebuild. I've watched a YouTube video on it. It does not look too difficult. Take a look at this video. It shows the glass replacement which entails taking some of the stove apart.

Rebuild? No, but this 4th season will replace a few gaskets. I do clean it annually and have made a few copper pipes then attach it to the vac to get deep into the nooks and crannies. A side note, I have a back up cat ready to go but so far no indication that it is needed.
 
Progress is a steel stove covered in stone. Probably not much needed other than gaskets.
