For the Guys/Gals that have a pre-EPA stove, how often do you rebuild it??? I mean take it apart and totally rebuild it.

I just swapped my motor on my 28000. Works nice now. But what a pita.tfdchief said:I guess it depends on the stove and how hard it has been used.
I have burned my Buck 26000 as an insert, mostly 24/7 since 1982. The only thing I have done is replace the door gasket and oiled the fan motor. Unless you count direct connecting it to a S/S liner a few years ago. It is still looks pretty much like the day I put it in....no metal degredation, warping, or worn out or broken parts. The Buck was a solidly built steel stove with excellent heat exchange and convection that is thermostatically controlled with 3 fan speeds at 3 progressively higher temperatures. It is UL listed anad rated for burning coal with the coal grate and fire brick installed. My biggest complaint is the fan motor in the rear.....there is only one way to work on it or oil it....pulll the beast out of the fireplace :-S
