I've had my Hearthstone Manchester for about 3 years. The air control lever has become very difficult to move from side to side.

I don't see how you go about greasing this up. Any suggestions?

If you can get ahold of some graphite powder or spray you might be able to squirt some powder or spray into the area where the air control handle is located. I use graphite powder on my Jotul once or twice a year to keep the air control lever moving free and easy.
 
ive had a hearthstone manchester stove two years and it has broken three times. Local dealer had it apart twice but the fix doesn't last. it got stuck in the closed position again last night.
