When I took the fire bricks out I discovered that the weld at the back correct corner has nigh disappeared leaving quite a wide gap. Also at present that the weld has gone, the plate with the lip at the back which the baffle plate sits on has warped and is curving into the firebox. I think the flick shows what I am referring to. Has anyone experienced this with a stove before, and can it be repaired and a new plate welded in place, or would I be better off buying a new stove? Thanks in advance.

2 "burn plates" are consumer items and only lift out to be replaced when they eventually burn out or crack. And if anyone is interested, the repair in this example is replacing the bolts that hold the panels together equally they have rusted out, need drilling out and replacing.
In the sitting room, I have a Woodwarm that was refurbished by the dealer, bought as new but with a 30% discount. I believe they replaced the banality that was leaking and the whole stove replaced nether warranty.

How do y'all get on with the Jotul? We have one here and I just tin can't seem to get on with information technology at all.What make? If it'south a long established make, the chances are the panels are known to go and can be replaced. My local blacksmith is currently repairing a Jotul wood burning stove (Jotul F118) for me that is probably at least 50 years old. The stove is however manufactured in the original design (because it works, folks, and doesn't need "improving" then it won't!) and all the panels are replaceable.Two "burn down plates" are consumer items and simply lift out to be replaced when they eventually burn out or crack. And if anyone is interested, the repair in this instance is replacing the bolts that concord the panels together as they have rusted out, need drilling out and replacing.
In the sitting room, I have a Woodwarm that was refurbished past the dealer, bought as new but with a 30% disbelieve. I believe they replaced the boiler that was leaking and the whole stove replaced under warranty.

How do y'all get on with the Jotul? Nosotros accept one here and I just can't seem to get on with it at all.
Which model? They produce quite a broad range and have a very practiced reputation. I advise a good chimney sweep every bit a outset phone call. I was virtually to spend a lot of money on a fancy new chimney cowel but my sweep put 1 on that was half the price and removed a thick wad of tar from around the top of the pot that the previous (and twice as expensive) sweep had missed. That cured information technology.
Incidentally, the installer who had fitted the stove in the first place put some weld mesh over the tiptop of the pot which caused the initial problem. The tar had built up on the mesh well-nigh entirely blocking it. That was replaced with a cowel that immune birds to enter -- and they blocked it once again with a nest. That sweep did non believe it until I produced photos of the birds inbound! It was the third homo who sorted the problem.
So, if your stove is from a reputable manufacturer, presumably they got that reputation by producing stoves that work. Attempt another chimney sweep with a good reputation who will offer a guarantee. My smoking stove cost me a visit to x-ray and a report to HETAS when I started coughing up blood! Get it sorted. Fume can cause cancer.

Worth knowing that some burn best when they are half full of ash - I never emptied the Jotul, simply just let the logs burn on a pile of ash and anything that fell out the door was swept out to the bin. Seemed to fire incredibly clean and clear, and left a very keen ash layer with no clinker or half burnt logs in it e'er.

Fine woods ash applied with a pad of clammy newspaper is constructive for cleaning a stove glass. It does non correct the reason the glass becomes sooted!Ash as well protects the grate and other steelwork from direct heat.

Fine wood ash applied with a pad of damp newspaper is effective for cleaning a stove glass. It does non right the reason the drinking glass becomes sooted!
No drinking glass in a Jotul #1, although you can run information technology like an open burn with the whole forepart open and slid underneath, and a mesh screen on front instead.
Best stove I e'er had.

Yes, Just if information technology is steel with welded seams, in that location will exist no bolts. Cast stoves are bolted together as the castings are 'flat', using fire rope seals. While steel plate could be welded once more, stresses may result and warping occur. More often than not, its either a warranty result (FOC exchange past supplier), misuse by overfiring*- replace with new.What make? If information technology's a long established make, the chances are the panels are known to go and can be replaced. My local blacksmith is currently repairing a Jotul wood burning stove (Jotul F118) for me that is probably at to the lowest degree 50 years old. The stove is notwithstanding manufactured in the original blueprint (considering it works, folks, and doesn't need "improving" and so it won't!) and all the panels are replaceable.Two "burn plates" are consumer items and simply lift out to exist replaced when they somewhen burn out or crack.

I had one when I lived in Glenlivet. They certainly give out some heat. Unforrtunately, the purchaser of the house made it a condition of the sale that cetain items were included and the stove was one of them. He also got the wardrobe in the bedchamber because information technology couldn't be got back down the stairs. (I'd moved information technology in through the window). I've e'er felt a bit guilty for non telling him it hid a hole in the bedroom wall and whenever the stove was lit, the room filled with smoke......

300mm log length is a laugh. I once fed a 3m tree trunk through one over the course of a weekend. Just pushed it in a bit more every time I passed.
Twinwall flue would be fine, but not in keeping with my (300 year old) firm.

They offer 12 months warranty with the option to insure for a further 4 years at actress cost at time of sale. How old is your stove?It'southward a Yeoman, which I think is Stovax.
