My little wonder has been heating half the house for a decade. It came with the place. I replaced the side pieces 3 years ago that were cracked.

Now, during various phases of the burn, the stove will let out a relatively steady periodic chirp/squeak/pip. Obv some metal moving. (Short video with one pip)

I was just wondering if I should be aware of anything from this noise regarding maintenence, safety or function.

Must have a wireless connection and Elon Musk is sending it tweets ;)

My guess is not an issue.

Mine doesn't have that piece on top, does that lift off easily?
