Greetings from Maine!!
First time posting.
I bought my first house about three years ago, first year we didn't fire up the woodstove it came with (Regency F3100L). In the two years we have used it, I've never exceeded 550F. Second year I noticed extensive wear on the inside right above the door, where a metal piece seems to have been disintegrated in the middle. This year, after I started a fire and the metal expanded, I noticed a crack that's hairline on the outside, but is wider inside in that same spot. It's possible it was there all along and I somehow didn't notice, kind of unsure. I'm attaching photos because I cannot explain it well enough. Basically. Is this something I should be concerned with? Repair it, replace it? Any insight is appreciated. Thank you very much.
