Good evening. I have a Jotul Oslo. On occasion the side door handle will become very difficult to operate. I assume its from creosote forming around the latch shaft. The only time it has happened is with an extended low temp burn. It takes some elbow grease, but I can work the handle and loosen it fairly quickly so it operates normally. The handle became stuck again this evening and I haven't been able to free it. I even tried taking it apart. I removed the roll pin and outside handle and tried tapping the shaft without success. I put it back together and would like some advice on how to resolve this problem. I don't think that WD-40 is the best option either.
Thanks for your help.
