Finally was able to get a chance to work on the G6. Once I got it tore apart and upside down I found a couple of issues.

After some studying I got out the O/A set and key word, "attempted" to braze the pieces back together. I think they will hold but won't win best in show thats for sure! I can tig weld an array of metals with ease and have soldered copper pipe no problem but this was hands down one of the hardest things to get a handle on.

Not sure what part of the stove that is Phil, but it looks like you conquered it. Good job. Good luck with your next hurdle also. Will you be attempting to finish it for this up-coming winter duties ?

Joe that is where the ash pit joins the bottom section for flue gas.... hope that helps explain.

I dont think it will see any action this winter. Lots going on and time to work on it is hard to find. I tore it down 2 weeks ago, messed with it a little last weekend and made sure to spend the day on it today. Got a couple of parts blasted and painted and some brazing and that was about it.

That's looks good Phil . Next attempt v out the cracks a little more with a diamond dremel bit. The bronze doesn't flow as well as solder in a tight crack. Ya did Good.

That braze will hold up well on the base pan. If the bottom of that pan in base burner mode gets up around 800* F it may soften............... But the barrel temp would be about 1400* F :oops: Sooooo that will be the least of your problems. :lol:

Paulie getting it to flow was my biggest problem. It kept wanting to ball up on me. Once I got the part a little hotter it did seem to help. Next time I'll v the cracks some more. I used a die grinding bit but maybe had only about 1/8" gap at best. What was it you said, practice, practice, practice?!

That's it practice practice practice...... Neutral to slightly oxidizing flame, get it clean, pre heat it, bury it in dry sand, lime, or vermiculite to cool it down really slow and you got it. :D

Here is a good link with a lot of tips and hints.

Cast likes to be pre-heated well...
And slowly cooled...
