How does the inside of my stove look?

[Itslay90]

I just want to know how does everything looks?

My non- pro opinion is that you look ok, from what can be seen in the pictures. I don’t see any cracks, which is good. Rust ( oxidation) happens due to heat in the firebox. How old is the stove?
Does it seem to run ok?

It wasn’t overfired,

It wasn’t overfired,

I think it was in the first year. We discussed the baffle distortion back then. Since then, with better operation, it has been run well by all reports.

Oh it absolutely was. You seem to have it under control now. But the inside of your stove looks used harder than most i see that are 20 years old.

The overfiring was evident with the first posting on this stove. The top paint clearly showed it had gotten too hot. Fortunately, these are tough stoves and burning habits have changed. That's all good. It should continue to burn well now for many years.

Maybe someone can help me. Thank you. Oh. The stove temperature is 700 I have a liner in the chimney.

I just cleaned everything off,

Looks a lot better. Like I said, these are tough stoves. Don't worry about it.

Question for you, do you have to take the baffle out every year to clean the fly ash that’s on top of the baffle ? or Can I just let it be ?. I know people remove the baffle to clean the chimney if it goes straight up.

Just vacuum it from above when you pull the pipe

 

[Itslay90]

Thanks

I pull the baffle to clean the flue instead of lifting the telescoping pipe. It scratches the pipe's paint, so I stopped doing that. Our burning habits, flue temp, and dry wood are clean enough that I have gone to an every other year cleaning.

I have a Jotul insert that specifies to take he baffles out when sweeping. They are cast iron so no risk of breaking during sweeping. While I sweep liner every year, I’ve gone to an every other year schedule with actually removing the baffles due to the extra work and likely lack of benefit doing it annually.
