I'd get some gasket material for the cat and the side door.. . .I am in driving distance of the factory, and plan to head up in that direction in the coming month, so maybe I should pick up some spare parts?
Cheers!! Happy Burn'N

Wow!! the Fireview had exceeded all of my expectations this season. It has kept my house warm & cozy so
far this winter, and we have burned roughly a cord of wood...amazing burning efficiency!
So now I have one question of other Fireview users....are there any parts on the Fireview that wear out over time, some part that I may want to purchase ahead of time?. I am in driving distance of the factory, and plan to head up in that direction in the coming month, so maybe I should pick up some spare parts?

http://store.woodstove.com/product.php?productid=16702I just checked with Woodstock and they do still sell the kits for each stove. It has everything you should ever need at a decent price too.
I still can't get over how reasonable their parts prices are.. Makes you glad you own their product..Won't cost you an arm and a leg to maintain your investment.. Just good folks all around. It's like the good ole' days still exist with Woodstock.

Hey guys, thanks for all the replies, and parts ideas, I'll probably pickup spare parts kit, and a CAT the next time I am up near the factory.
Re-read Rideau's post.Woodstock said:The EPA warranty on catalytic combustors covers free replacement for the first three years from date of stove shipment. Years 4-6 are pro-rated. Call us at 1-800-866-4344 to order if your stove is less than 6 years old.

Go ahead and adjust it. It's super easy, like all the regular maintenance on this stove. All you need is a 7/16" or 11mm wrench. The instructions say to use a 1/8" Allen wrench to hold the screw, but you can use a small flat-blade screwdriver or pliers on the end of it, or just use your fingers and allow for some extra rotation of the screw as you tighten the nut. Be aware that this is not a cure-all. That's why I suggested getting spare gasket material for the door. This gasket is probably the first thing you will need to replace on the stove, but maybe not for a few years yet.DPBurn said:Anyone have any issues with the pressure screw on the door that keeps a tight seal?
I notice mine tends to be tight when the stove is cool, but when it warm up the catch isn't as tight. I haven't fiddled with the bolt there to tighten it yet, figured I would give it a season, and then adjust some.
Dennis is an insert just a dream at this point?

Worst case: new door for $35.Different stove, but similar door gasket. My gasket was compressing in the bottom corner near the hinge and not sealing tightly(dollar bill test) in the opposite corner above the latch. Tightening the door latch didn't help much. Replaced the gasket and did not use glue/cement, which allowed me to adjust the bunching of the gasket in its channel. Stretched the gasket a bit thinner in the tight corner and bunched it thicker in the opposite corner. Fine-tuned it a lil' on the next few reloads. All good now. The key is to leave yourself extra gasket length for bunching where necessary.
I still can't get over how reasonable parts are for the Woodstock stoves... No wonder people just keep rebuilding them...I guess it's just me.

I had to extend my hearth 8 inches out - loved each and every moment of the project. Love my Fireview.

Ok...update on this thread that I started back in January. I picked up a Woodstock Fireview from the factory back in April during their spring sale. Got it to the hearth with the help of some friends, and that is were it sat for 5 months. Yesterday a local chimney sweep installed the flue liner, and stove...so now I am ready for this coming wood heating season. Here are a few pictures of the final install., sorry for the picture quality..all I have right now is a IPod.
