I followed all of Regency’s guidelines without exception. It’s not my fault the multiple welds cracked within the firebox, period.Your principal is stated right in your owners manual in the warranty coverage. It’s not required for them to goodwill you extra coverage. Bholler even mentioned to contact regency to tell them about the install cost being so high. It’s not their fault. They also don’t tell you to preventative check every screw in there. Inspection is implied that you will inspect the general construction of the component.
What about asking for advice on fixing the stove. Made someone familiar knows how you could fix the stove you have which could solve the problem.
YesCan you see the cracks with the firebrick and baffle in place?
If you can see the cracks with those things in place the cracks are in the secondary air manifold and pose absolutely no safety issue. Can you post some pictures of it?
I appreciate the willingness to help but I think I’ll hold off asking for help until Regency makes a final determination on my claim.If you can see the cracks with those things in place the cracks are in the secondary air manifold and pose absolutely no safety issue.

If I have to pay installation costs for a new insert, I’m not exactly safeguarding my initial investment.While I agree with you it would be fair if regency can do more for you than they are entitled to doing, inspections don't "safeguard your financial investment". They just show when it went south.
There was not much to be done (other than rewelding the places.if issue? - not sure you'd want that done inside your home). It's bad luck, and regency can salvage some of their name by being generous for something you didn't cause. But there was no way you or inspections could have prevented this and saved you money.
I am contemplating my options. However, in another post, someone mentioned regency doesn’t have doors for units so I’m not sure anything will get resolved anytime soonCould you propose a different model to Regency so it would be equal or better that what you have now.

Cool man. I’m kinda over this at this point. You got an opinion. I got an opinion and we both think we are right. Cheers broYou said " I would have taken more proactive steps with enhanced inspections to safeguard my financial investment."
I said that inspections don't do anything for safeguarding your investment.
Yup. Bad PR spreads fast too and yeah, Regency could have done better by their known customers. This whole fiasco reminds me public forums are not my scene at all. I’m a face to face kind of dude. Yaw enjoy this feces show, I’m out….I agree though that it would have looked.much better had regency sent out (thru their dealer network.or warranty records) a note of caution to the relevant customers, and potentially offer a standard solution for those affected by their mistakes.
