Bought the house this summer and the wood stove came with the house. Almost lost the stove because the home owners son wanted to keep it. But we were able to write it in to the contact. Anyways, I knew little about the stove until I searched the internet and found this place. I knew the stove needed some TLC.
- Cleaned out the chimney and vacuumed the outlet of the stove.
- Replaced the missing gaskets on both doors.
- Loosen all the knobs. One is still stuck tho.
- Replaced all the cracked bricks on the inside. 1.25”x4”x10” Firebricks. I called every mason builder supply store by me and no one had them. They have the standard 4“x8” bricks. Luckily my father in law who lives in upstate NY was able to get the exact size bricks. I had no idea the bottom were bricks too until I vacuumed all the ashes. I will have replaced all the old ones. Next time I’ll replace them. Let me know if I'm missing something.
Not sure if this is the original screen door but is fits perfectly and I haven’t seen the owners manual for this model yet. With all the bricks replaced, it’s a different animal. It’s going to take a little bit to learn the stove. As you can see it this replaced the fireplace that is still there. I don’t plan on heating the house with it because I’m not home everyday to put wood in it but on the weekends I use it a lot.
