Mine definitely leaked. I hope you guys you can get yours fixed before it does. Major pain in the ass.

My controller went bad and wouldnt close the door or shut the fan off. Luckily, it only made it to 190 before i caught it.

He told me if I brought it to him he would weld it. I said the same thing. It's happened to too many people now for it to have been some kind of fluke. I wonder how many more there out there that we will never know about because the owners aren't on this site. I know of 3 within a few miles of me but i dont know the people and I don't want to just knock on the door and ask if I can look in their stove.

those are identical to my cracks. They told me the only way it could happen was by overheating, which I am pretty sure never happened.

Very odd. I was hoping this stove was gonna last a good while but i have my doubts. Really don't want to have to tear this thing apart every year and re weld it.

So, the latest thing to happen is my controller just went bad. I noticed it looked like my stove had been running a long time so I went out and checked and it was at 190 degrees. Had to unhook the electric to get it to shut off as the fan was running and damper was open even though it was 10 degrees past when it was supposed to shut off. Anyone else had this? Did you get another love or did you go with something else?

So far it seems to be going good. I need to weld the angle iron back on to attach the sheet metal.

I had the steel off in a few minutes. Had to cut the welds on the angle iron and get it off to access the cracks better. Started at about 3 pm and we were all done welding around 10. Had to fill and drain a few times while checking for and fixing leaks.

My buddy has a 6000 with a crack in the upper right area. Mines all welded up and running now. I have a hard time believing it overheated also, seems like i would have caught it. I mean it wouldn't just magically quit overheating, and I wasnt that low on water. Fortunately my brother in law is a welder and we have it fixed up good. But i feel for anyone who doesnt have that luxury.
