Truely excellent help thank you.


Two stove experts have both sold us the wrong sized rope. :T

Off to buy new rope this afternoon, and maybe after that I will finally get a stove that I can love!:j

Thank you for one of the simplest and easiest answers on MSe. I am very grateful.

I replaced one of those this last weekend !

Easy job takes around 20 mins all told, all you need is a smallish flat blade screwdriver and a firm wite brush.

We replace ours regularly, that's part of why I hate it.

But it is getting a good clean tonight too.

I went and saw one working this afternoon, and while I still do not think they are attractive stoves I would like it more if it were reliable and properly functional.

What happens to the rope which makes you decide that it is time to replace it?

Have you considered just not bothering to replace it?

A common thing ropes getting overlooked, not replacing ropes leads to an incorrect burn as it lets too much air into the stove.

Easy to tell when they need replacing, they'll either be blackened and have a tarry like substance on them or they'll be as flat as a pancake, either way they need replacing.

It comes off or the door badly loses seal, ( now we know it's because it's too big and we were musadvised). Then we use more wood than on an open fire as air rushes through, and controlling the thing is impossible. And the door goes black and yucky.

Anyway, gave the thing a damn good sort out tonight. To late to bother lighting later, but will try with great anticipation tomorrow.

Usually what happens is there's too much air in the stove causing logs or coal to burn too quick making it an inefficient fire ( or was that a trick question? )

Not replacing it means you are spending money sending heat up a chimney

So, if the seal is broke. you use more wood than on an open fire...

So, if you had stuck with the open fire, you would be using less wood?
