I went to fire up my stove this morning and I noticed a crack about an inch long on the perimeter of the door cutout - exactly under the handle latch.
After I got the stove going the crack became barely visible - due to the metal expansion.
Now what? Do I:
- make believe it's not here and continue burning on my merry way as long as it doesn't pose a problem?
- begin my search to buy a new stove?
It's a Regency 3100 (about 15 years old) that I bought second hand on craigslist. Great stove. I love it and prefer not to replace it, but I don't want to get stuck in the middle of the winter frantically searching for a new stove. I burn 24/7.
Help with suggestions would be enormously appreciated.
