Hello,
I purchased a used Buck model 81 wood burning insert from a family friend. He used it for about 10 years. It's in pretty good shape overall. A few fire bricks need replaced, and I plan to redo the door gasket.
Right now the insert is sitting in the middle of my basement not hooked up. Now is the best time to do any type of maintenance on it before I install it. Besides the items mentioned above, what other items on the insert should I clean/maintain before installation? It is a non-cat.
Any guidance is appreciated.
