So my family has had 3 Dutchwest Federal wood stoves over the last 30 years and I have inherited one of them. It's a Dutchwest Federal 288 XL or model#2184. My dad has owned this wood stove since I was 13 and passed it down to me. It has always been well maintained and is in excellent condition with no cracks a new catalyst and new door gaskets. However due to the age of the stove and moving it from his house to mine I was contemplating re-cementing the seams on the stove. Does anyone have any thoughts on whether it should be done or not? I have already had it fired up this year and it seemed to be firing fine. Also has anyone actually torn one of theses stoves down, if so how long does it take to do and is there anything special I should know about rebuliding one? Thanks so much for the help I appreciate any info!
