I decided to disassemble to stove and reseal the joints before this winter. Last year I could see some orange glow between the fire pot and the base it sits on. Although last year was my first year burning the stove after purchasing it restored, I think these stoves just don't travel well. Especially when the nuts aren't tight. Too much jarring around between transport from New England and moving it inside the house. Anyway, while I had it apart, I thought I would see if I couldn't do a better job on the fire pot. The hammered in refractory liner was loose and full of cracks.
I found a plastic flowerpot at the local hardware store to use as a mold. Mixed up 25 pounds of the Rutland castable refractory cement and it took almost all of it.
I think the job turned out OK. A few little air bubbles on the surface, but not bad. If I ever do it again, I'll spend a little more time tapping with the rubber mallet.

Very good job.
I like that Rutland castable. The firebricks I cast for my two stoves has held up very well, and I run them fairly hard.

Great job!!
You may already know that the bolts should remain bearly tighten to allow for expansion during being hotter.
