Absolutely call or fax CB directly before this costs you a lot more than a new door.

Haven't heard back from him since last week, e-mailed and called. I did some looking at the door and the place's where the door attach to boiler  the bottom hinge appear's to be a 1/16 of an inch closer than the top. ? I don't know if all CL5036's are like this.

When I got off of work Monday I came home to find the CL-5036 with a temp of 90 degree's, I  took the cover off of the frpnt door where the Damper plate is, I cleaned this area with sand paper both sealing surface's and adjusted the plate after loosing the 2 screw's that secure it to the door. I was able to get a much tighter seal when using a flash light shining from the outside its not a 100% but it must have helped a lot because when the damper is closed I can hardly see any smoke coming from the chimney. Well its Friday morning and it has been warm, my temps since Tuesday in the morning and when I get home have been between 173 and 177 degree's with wood still being in the boiler. I will follow up on this later

P.S. My door is still bowed

My dealer came out to replace the damper on my boiler tonight he got here at 6 pm I was impressed because that was a 1 hr plus ride from where he live's to get here. I also got a new rope gasket that Im going to replace Sat. I hope this take's care of my issue's. Ill leave an update later

My dealer came by last night and replaced the damper plate then I replaced the rope gasket again this afternoon, will see how it looks tonight when it finished a burn cycle.  See how much smoke still comes out.

My dealer came by last Friday and brought a new damper plate that we changed, then I changed the rope gasket Saturday trying to see if it's any better. Came Home today it was 168 degree's   I have been cleaning the damper plate sealing area about ever other day.  The one thing that I did notice is after installing the rope gasket that there is a noticeable difference in the indentation in the upper right hand corner above the door latch where you can see the door is bowed out.

Sounds like your dealer should be about ready to give you a new door if everything else on the door does its job.

After cleaning the damper plate and changing the rope gasket one more time the boiler has been doing pretty good had one day the temp got up to 81 degree's the boiler was still 180

I was talking to my dealer in NH and asked about thewarrenty. He said that it's prorated and went on to say that the door is the only thing that is covered 100% for 25 years.
