    It's an automotive product. Copper grease looking. Used on things like exhaust header bolts. Just ask for high temp antiseize. After a dozen fires at full mojo, the bypass is still smooth. The thermostat control on the other hand has gotten "scritchy" over the summer and might get some lube too.

    You guys know how I admire a good install/build thread...can't believe I didn't see this one yet! Looks great Highbeam! The hearth looks clean and polished, very fitting for the stove. I used to not like the look of the BK's, but they've come to grow on me. I'm loving that setup buddy!!

    Looking forward to some pics of it in action in the coming weeks/months!

    That Oak worked out real well.
