Thanks to all on this site. Got me through the set up last year and now use it to keep up info on the eclassic (plus a lot of other good stuff on other topics). Finally got around to doing my extensive summer cleanout and the fusion chamber was cracked. Notified my dealer and he immediately called CB and was told that I should wait until the first of September to replace it as they are modifying the design and the new one would be available then. It will be sent at no charge to folks having problems if they have been identified. One thing I was not happy with was that they told him if I wanted a new one now of the old design they are considering this a "wear item" and would be charged for it. Opted to wait.
 Another problem I had this winter was with my auto relight not working. Was told to clean the upper gas gun.  After a couple of hours of pryin, shakin and cussin I finally got it out and it was a solid chunk of creasote. After another couple hours of cleaning, I got all orifices located and cleaned. I have now been told that this is a regular maintanance item and should be cleaned regularly. I explained if they want to have folks take care of something they should put it in the manual. My dealer also asked again about this and they also recommend checking and cleaning out the main burner. Personally I will probably check the upper every 2-3 months and the bottom I will check this summer as I not awaire to until today and determine how bad it is.  There are only 4 bolts on each, so it is a fairly easy check unless you wait too long.

Wow I feel for all the eclassic owners out there. I would BS if this was happening to me. Whats going to happen 5 or even 10 years from now? When i got in to this owb thing last year I looked at the eclassic but had a bad feeling about it.....to complicated. I chose the Classic 6048 and have had not one problem last year. I have 4 friends with the regular classics that report no problems. I have one buddy with the eclassic but he hasn't mentioned any problems yet either, but it was his first year with it. I will say me and the eclassic guy burned pretty much the same amount of wood last year. I don't think there's a big difference in wood consumption between the two.

Bottom line Central Boiler had in my and alot of others opinion one of, if not the best owb on the market with the classic line it was perfected and simple. They should of built off that platform instead of a completely different stove altogether. There seems to be no long term testing on these units and alot of people spent big money for these and are now having unacceptable problems with them. Its ruining CBs reputation in the owb world. I would be out of my mind with this, seems there tons of maintenance and cleaning that I was not told about when I was looking at them.

I wish the best of luck to all that purchased the eclassic I hope CB stands behind its new product and has the financial wear with all to fix all the problems. Don't give up make them make it right..... CB got all the money for these stoves you guys deserve a quality product.
when hell freezes over I'll snowmobile there too

Add me to the list of wounded...FC is toast and I now have a warped door on the RC....I'm starting to see a pattern here....

I've been in touch with the dealer and he has his 2300 guy getting back to me Monday. It'll be interesting to see what comes out of all this. I've been told by CB that I get the first new FC free. He also mentioned that they have yet to have one of the revised models fail.

Ken, my dealer installed a new FC last fall and it seems to have held up over this past season.  Once I shut it down for the summer I will do some more proactive looking. As far as the RC door, they all warp and my dealer says its nothing to worry about, even his is that way.

I was thinking about taking some of the leftover firebrick from the upper chamber and leaning it against the RC door for protection....what could it hurt?

Good point, it can't.  As long as it doesn't block the turbulators at all, I will have to take a look.
