So, this is our 3rd year with the Hampton HI300. Love the stove but I'm having serious issues with adjusting the door for a good seal so I can stop overfiring the stove. The adjustment on these things is done on the latch where the door secures itself to the stove. The door seemed to need adjusting last year, so I took out the latch and removed a washer from the top and bottom like the manual says to do. The door was so tight I ended up snapping the handle off. :shut:
So, after going thru the nightmare of getting a new handle on, I just burned with a loose door and had to keep an eagle eye on the stove to make sure it didn't overfire on startup. This year I've tried to adjust it again with no luck. I just can't find the sweet spot, it's either too loose or too tight. Maybe I need a new gasket? Seems awful soon for that, but what do I know?
Any Regency/Hampton folks with tips out there?
