Howdy!
I bought a house with a wood stove in it and thoroughly enjoying it, but it needs some refurbishing. Some of the firebricks are worn out and need replacing, as do the gaskets. These are the most obvious things.
I've emailed Century and they say they aren't the original manufacturers (it was made circa 6/2000, according to the label) but sent me this manual: https://www.century-heating.com/us/en/archives/vp00321/manuals/
I'm trying to figure out what gasket to use for both the glass and the door. How specific do I need to be here? Which one of these gasket kits might I need to use?
As for the firebrick, lots of it seems fine to me, but there is one on the side that's definitely degraded, and the one covering the hole down to the ash bin is crumbling. I think likely many of the bottom ones could possibly use replacing. Any recommendations there?
I'd appreciate any insight you might have to offer.
Here are some pics, if they'd be of use:
