- Hand Fed Coal Stove: Brunco Wood/Coal Stove
I bought a used Brunco Hearthglow wood/coal stove for the shop. You can have the stove pipe coming out the top or out of the back by moving a plate to cover the hole. I moved the plate from the top to the back and when doing my first burns noticed that I am not getting a good draft from the bottom vent on the stove. I used a stick of incense to see if I was sucking air anywhere and I am sucking air at the bottom of the plate that I moved to the back. It appears the stove has been bent in just a little where the plate meets the stove. There is no way I can "bend" it back out so I just need to seal a small gap. It is metal to metal seal, no gasket.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

if you can't use some flat gasket--red permatex works well if you're gonna do any wood, she's gonna get REAL hot-- even for stove patch/mud. I'd finagle something with the flat gasket material.

Yeah, I agree.. Maybe you could compress some stove door rope gasket there. I think that location would be too hot for any silicone type stove sealant.. you can find it at pretty much anyplace that sells stoves and stove supplies.

What franco b said.franco b wrote:Just use furnace cement.
Furnace cement will withstand much higher temps than any other type of sealer. And it's easier to get into small areas of a gap if your not disassembling the parts.
That's how stove were sealed for a long time, and the antique stoves are still sealed that way by professional shops and restorers.

I had some fire block sealant I was going to use, it withstands high temperatures. But I had some thin gasket for the glass in the doors I used. I think that did it. I'll test it better this weekend. Thanks for the suggestions.

Don't think so--if you'd ever want to sell the stove & someone needed to use the other outlet, that would be a problem.
