So, I was cleaning around my Englander 50-SNC13I last night getting ready for the nightly burn when I noticed an ugly crack going from the door opening to the lower hinge. I don't know how long its been there but I doubt for long. This is my 9th season burning the insert 24/7 in the winter. Now some questions...
Is it still safe to burn this thing with the crack?
Anybody had a similar problem with their Englander (or other stove)?
Can I grab my buddy's Mig welder, lay a bead across it and be done?
Any other ideas, comments, suggestions? Thanks.
