I've shared with Sniper that I went ahead and had the cracks in the stove welded and put the stove back into service. I didn't have time to play around with Quadrafire since it was cold and I wanted heat in the house. If the welds don't hold I might try drilling and plating the crack next. So far though the stove is working ok. It's clear that Quadrafire won't help their customers and if we want heat and we can't afford to throw the stove away we have to do something. I only wish Regency would come out with a stove that took 24 inch logs!
If someone wants to take it to a lawyer and has the patience to see it through they're welcome to the pictures I've posted here along with any info I can give them. If anyone knows how to put a notice on the web for anyone that has a problem with Quads and directs them to this site should give it a go.
