I made the mistake of putting WD-40 (I know now it was the wrong stuff) on the door handle and hinges and now, whilst they don't squeak anymore, are worse off. The hinge shuts way too quickly now when before there was some resistance it was easy to control. Furthermore, the handle now doesn't shut as tightly and the air seal no longer works so the fire is burning too quickly. I surmised that the rust I must have blown away was what was causing the resistance for the stove to work properly.
Any advice on remedies is appreciated.
