Should I be lubing or oiling any parts on my stove after the burn season is over? And I've been seeing a lot of talk about the powdered graphite. What are it's uses? This is all for a p61a. Thx

while I do advocate using an oil in the burnchamber in an attempt to allay rust in the off-season, all of harman's motors have sealed bearings, so lubing wont really help you. If you have a motor thats making noise and a squirt of WD-40 works, its likely that motor or fan is "on its way out" and will need replacing at some point in the future.
