Woodburner replacement door/hinge

[Queenofthenight]

When buying our boat we realised that the top hinge on our woodburner was broken and thought it would be easy to buy a replacment door. Now we realise, not knowing the make of it, that this might be a problem. Could we get a new hinge welded on? Would this be safe? I have attached some photos to see if anyone recognises this burner. Many thanks for your help.

if you have the part that fell off it could be arc welded back on. I would make a new steel hinge piece and tap it in on a stud, or bolt it on. welding the nasty cast iron stoves are made of is risky.

 

do you need the stove for this Autumn/ winter ?

[Queenofthenight]

Yes we will be needing it, we are living aboard. We also have a diesel burner right down the end of the boat, but it's a 60footer, and I've got a feeling the heat from that will not be felt in the bedroom. No sign of the missing bit either!

where about's are you ?

 

You need a tame engineer to fettle it for you. I don't see any easy fix.

Bugger! We are in Greenford at the moment.

I'm a few miles away from you at the mo, i repair and refurb stoves quite often, but i would want the stove in my workshop/ work boat for a while.
