Hey friends,
I had a tech come out after my first season to clean, inspect and evaluate how well I had maintained the new stove. I didn't know what to expect, but aside from my pulling the surround off and his vacuuming what he could reach, I wasn't very impressed. He said after one season, it would need much care. I thought it would extend out so it could be inspected and worked on (Newbie that I was).
I asked what could be done about all the noise it makes - since there are several fans all going at once and harmonically beating their noises against one another, plus the internal plates buzzing and the sheet metal parts rattling against the decorative outer shell parts. He said they're all like that, and gave me some scraps of heat resistant rubber-like stuff to wedge here and there.
Do you guys have more tips and tricks to quiet this beast?
(I have been using aluminum foil folded up to make wedges for inside the fire box, but they eventually vibrated out again.)
Thanks for your thoughts,
