Pacific Woodstove Questions

[PaulD]

Well if I had taken some time to look at the back of the stove instead of concentrating only on the inside of it, I would have seen a giant information tag with "Super 27" checked off on it.
All outside surfaces look to be nice and flat and the door seems to seal nicely.

I'll try to call the dealer again tomorrow and see what it will cost to get this sucker back in service. At minimum I will need new rails, insulation, and all the firebrick. Maybe a leg kit too because the girlfriend doesn't like the pedestal look.

I love that truck picture too. It's amazing what people think is perfectly safe.

Dont forget to ask your Pacific Energy dealer for the "metallic black stove paint" that really looks good on black wood stoves. < M.B. is the standard black color for PE >
( dont care for the standard flat black color )

Glad the stove is straight with no warpage , the saga continues ...............

I made the two side pieces at work, well mostly, someone else did the welding for me. This was too serious for my limited welding ability.
I just need to clean them up a little.

I will hopefully have time to get the new fire brick on Saturday and some new insulation. I may wait to paint it until warmer weather so I can do it outside. Although it's kinda heavy to keep moving around.
We may have ignition on Sunday.

I don't know anything about your problem, lol, but just wanted to add something.

I would think that PE would replace the part for free, or offer a great discount, say cost plus 10% plus shipping. Why not? I see it as good advertising and a possible future sale if and when Paul D buys a new stove. It's a reputation battle, and I'm sure PE doesn't want to do anything to hurt their reputation over a part that probably costs them nearly nothing.

Call the company directly and try. What's the worst that can happen?

There ya go Paul .

How did the burn baffle issue end up ?

We have ignition!

A little over a hundred bucks in new fire brick and insulation and this stove works great. The baffle seems to fit perfectly now and I can't believe the adjustability I get with the air control. I can go from inferno to smoldering and back in no time if I choose to.
Next up will be a leg kit and a blower. Then in the spring a good sand blasting and new coat of paint.

Thanks to everyone for their help and encouragement. You guys are great!

That's awesome Paul! Love a happy ending.

What a great success story, bet you feel like a million bucks (and saved at least a $1000). Congratulations and thanks for sharing the pics and for saving a great stove from the scrap heap. Cleaned up, repainted and shined, it should be good to go for another 20 years.

I wish I would have had pictures of the inside of my wood furnace. The 2 rails that held the baffle in place were twisted and seperated from the walls of the firebox, and the same with the baffle. The parts were built cheaply and after 18 years of being burned they needed replaced. I had 2 channels made to hold the baffle in place, which they made them with 3/16 plate instead of 1/8 inch and I had the baffle pressed and reinforced so it couldn't warp again . A little welding and I was back in business and I saved 1000 dollars from buying a new one. It feels good to do something like that and bring life back into a woodburner. Looks like a winner! It cost me 40.00
