RidgeWood Stoves, defunct, support only / Re: Ridgewood owners how is your stove doing?

« on: November 22, 2017, 07:50:27 AM »

On the 4th year here with the 6000. First year went through half a dozen solenoids and 2 aquastats... Fixed the cracked firebox 2 years ago and had it recrack, so I totally cut the old face off and  separated it with new plate. So far so good. Its really a work horse even for as cold as it gets here in Great Lakes region. Once you get all the bugs worked out lol

Well guys I'm gonna shut her down here in a couple weeks with the weather getting nicer and cut the whole face piece off on the firebox just like they are doing up at ridgewood. I'm hoping this will fix the cracking issue since it's cracked again right beside the welds from last springs fix. I'll keep you all posted and maybe snap some pics along the way.

How much are you guys selling your Ridgewood for? Just curious if I do sell mine and are you having issues with selling them because of addressed issues we are having

Ok I was wrong. I figured water would cool it a little and the weld would stop it. How bad did it leak?

It shouldn't leak. Normally it won't crack past weld on firebox

Its really not to bad of fix. Lucky mine only cracked on bottom. Tin comes off pretty easy and then you can see everything good. At least the burning season is over. How close to nw ohio are you? If your close I'd be willing to help you out

Bottom of crack so it doesn't continue to crack any farther. Kinda like a windshield

I would still drill and fix crack just to be safe. I know I said it shouldn't crack past weld on firebox but better to be safe than sorry

Very true live and learn. Always a risk I guess when trying to save a few bucks. Just have to jeep an eye on this guy I believe he's done this in past and then opened with a new business name so I've been told...
