E-Classic 2300 (2009) - Firebox door issue
« on: March 16, 2014, 04:16:00 PM »

Hello,

I have an E-Classic 2300 manufactured in 2009 and I have encountered a little problem.  I recently replaced my door gasket for the first time and noticed what appeared to be some crumbling of the door insulating material that is bolted under the metal panel that faces the fire.  This appears to be causing some smoke/air to escape the firebox and leak through the door when the fan is on.  I believe that CB provides a replacement kit for the fire box door parts.  Does anyone out there have a similar experience ?  Cost ?

No Idea...

Though I have the 3200, going on 3 years and understand what you are referring to.

Maybe you can find it thru ebay...

I replaced our gasket last year.... son shut the door on a small branch and melted the gasket where the air escaped.

Do you use lime daily or their CB product?

Yeah, I have the 2008 E2300.  Just replaced my door guts a month or so ago.  The kit is $245 to buy.  But my dealer sent me a warranty form to fill out and send back.  All I was liable for was $45.09 for shipping.  It is messy to clean out the old but was a pretty easy job for me.  I had no troubles and even did it while there was still a bed of coals in the stove.  Kit contains virtually all new parts except the outer door shell.

I just changed my door seal on my E3200.  I think it is the same for the E2400.  About $50 on ebay.  Burns way better now.  Seal was 3 old.  Should have done it after 2 years.  Only took 5 min to change the seal.  The seal came out very easy and little cleaning for new one.  I expected the worst but was glad to see the metal in very good shape.
