Oct 18, 9 Central VA. Hi, new to the forum and hoping to get some good info. I am looking at purchasing a used Vermont Casting model , I see that it was manufactured between an , give or take, I have found all the mauals online. My questions are, 1. I have always liked the dutch west and have read good things about it. The stove looks to not have been used much and well taken care of, but when looking throught the front doors, the back left corner seems to be seperated Back grate and side wall so that air would pass through to the back chamber from the side, will this effect the stoves operation, is it supposed to be that way, and can stove cement be used to close the gap up?

As far as the exterior goes, it seems to be very tight! And one more question, what else should I be looking at on this stove to ensure it is in fact in good shape?
