Hey all,
I have put a few posts up about inserts, chimney liners, inspecting a used insert, in specific about looking at this one Regency I2100***. Original listing was $500. Went with my brother to look at it today. It has the full gold door and the blower. I think its quite a deal... After doing the inspection (per what you guys said), I noticed that that are a few minor things that I need to fix before I install it. I offered $400 and it was accepted.
-I need to replace a few firebricks and the baffle. 4 firebricks are cracked. The connection between the two baffle bricks is starting to deteriorate a little. They are definitely intact, like normal wear on a stove. Not sure if I need to replace them but if theyre not too expensive, I might want to just get them when I go. I was looking at the manual for the insert on regency-fire.com to get firebrick part numbers that I need. The owner had replaced a few of the other bricks and the configuration isnt as shown in the manual. I think I will be replacing all the bricks just to be safe. How much does a full set of firebricks and the two baffles cost?
-A small thing, I am going to need to buy the Flue Bracket Package, maybe $10?
-There are a few small places were the insert is a little rusty. Is this something I can fix with high temperature paint? Does Regency make their own stove paint or would something like a Thurmalox Stove Paint be just as good/better?
-The last thing, the Door Gasket is not properly sealed to the back of the gold door in the little gasket key way. In the manual it is referred to as a "Door Gasket Kit". Can I buy high temperature adhesive and seal the existing gasket back in or do I need to buy a whole "Kit"? The gasket is in pretty good shape.
Thanks in advance for all your help. Sorry for the lengthy post, I just want to get this right.
Kevin
