Ive got about an ounce of Mr Zip extra fine dry graphite in a squeeze
bottle that might last the rest of my life, but it's messy. Even masking
tape on the bottom of the hinge doesn't stop it from migrating during
application.

Noticed art supply graphite crayons that might be easier to apply. Would
they be good candidates for hinge lubrication?

EG:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...A77GAHG82Q86A5

https://www.michaels.com/woodless-gr...rayon&start=14

https://www.joann.com/graphite-art-s...crayon&start=1

Next time I try this I may just wet some of the powder to spread with a
flux brush.

How about some high temp, auto type grease instead? They have brake grease
in small one use packets, for example.

Looks like good stuff. High temp grease grease is usually 2 part
compound where the grease component evaporates at 350 deg. and leaves
graphite behind to continue lubricating. I'm not familiar with caliper
grease and Permatex keeps their proprietary info obscure. I know that
the door gets over 350 deg.

They sell brake grease in small matchbook size packets at auto parts

I must be in another universe. Having never known of a wood stove

I don't know about lubrication but how does an art store graphite crayon
differ from a standard #1 'lead' pencil?

Come to think of it, I did use pencil graphite to lubricate the slide on
my slide rule back in the day.

Regular pencils use clay mixed in the graphite to harden them. I assume
the crayons will be more pure.

I bet your door only "squeals" for a moment when you closed or opened

Have you tried bacon fat on the pin, if it bothers you?

It's worth the experiment if you have a Michaels or similar store

graphite with a little wax to hold it together.

There's a Michaels and a Joanns within 45 miles. I'll look at the
woodless graphite and the sticks next time I'm in town. 2B crayons are
the softest - so probably have the most graphite.

If it doesn't work on the stove, you can take up art. I always feel out
of place in either of those stores. What I'm looking for probably
doesn't have anything to do with what they think it's used for. But then
I keep a tube of lipstick around. It comes in handy for fitting parts.
Fingernail polish has its uses too that don't have anything to do with
painting my toenails.

I'm going in to town Tuesday. First stop is AutoZone or Napa. They both

Is it a "fixed pin"? or a removeable pin?
In many cases ir is the top part of the hinge rubbing on the bottom
part, not the pin itself. Drill out a penny to fit the pin to act as a
"bearing" between the door and the case.

If it IS the pin, dissassemble and clean up the pin. Put a bit of
teflon paste on the pin, or silicone grease. If it is and integral or
"fixed"pin - made of cast iron - bacon grease will "season" the pin
like a fry pan and quiet things down too.

It's a removable pin. 5/8" dia. so a penny isn't big enough. I already
looked for a 5/8" x 1" x 1/8" brass washer because the door touches one

"bearing" between the door and the case.

If it IS the pin, dissassemble and clean up the pin. Put a bit of
teflon paste on the pin, or silicone grease. If it is and integral or
"fixed"pin - made of cast iron - bacon grease will "season" the pin
like a fry pan and quiet things down too.


It's a removable pin. 5/8" dia. so a penny isn't big enough. I already
looked for a 5/8" x 1" x 1/8" brass washer because the door touches
one
and has a space on the other. If I don't solve my problem Tuesday I
can
visit a machine shop later.

The graphite powder is working well right now.

Try a brass pin and a brass washer. Guaranteed not to squeak.

WD-40

Not going to last long on the door of a woodstove.

Uugh! Bacon grease would smell WAY better.

But could get you beheaded if you are a muslim and stoned to death if you
are a jew.

I always had this image of you riding your bike with painted toenails.
I'm crushed now.

You'll never know. I may skip the helmet sometime but I'll be damned if
I'll ride a bike in flip flops. That's a 20-something deal. 150 hp bike,
$800 helmet with the trendy graphics, and flip flops.

After I park the bike and walk into Joanne's in my scruffy leather
jacket, the conversation can get interesting.

Do you have one of those snap fastener kits?
Sure, what do you want to use them for?
Fix the thumb break on my .357 shoulder rig.

I learned long ago to make up some story about my non-existent wife
working on some non-existent home project.

Of course, I sometimes have the same problem in the hardware store. I'm
big on what they call off label use in the drug business.

The parts guys try to hide under the counter when I come in. I tell
them what I'm looking for and they ask "what''r you working on this
time?" - and I tell them they REALLY don't want to know - - Most of
the time it's nothing close to what the part was made for.
