we're square and I'll see you next time I need a bottle filled

gasses and supplies are a cheap lesson .
Many thanks to those that posted helpful suggestions , your
contributions
are a part of that lesson .
I've been following your threads on this, and in the latest one
about trying to weld burnt steel, I was wondering if it wouldn't be
quicker and more effective to cobble together a cupola furnace or
some such and cast them new.
Just because...
Or simply weld a new one out of bars of SS from the scrap bin at the
metal yard
Yah , like we got a metal yard ... here's a link to the part we're
talking about :

Jesus H. Christ! No wonder the guy wanted them repaired instead.
Stoves are a real ripoff from the start, though.
He didn't even know replacements are available ... I have the same/newer
model stove , and one of my grates has a corner broken off , I found those
when I was looking for myself . I only paid 2 c-notes for the stove
including the triwall/cap/roof flashing . I did replace the flashing with
new and had to add a length of flue pipe .
