Madison Door Gasket

Run Spot run....

 

It's really hard to convince someone with facts when their mind is already made up.

 

Very true. Like when I make my kind up to call in sick to work on a Monday in the summer, ain't no one changing my mind for nothing!

 

Kinda like a real quick therapy session!!!

 

I know why, it is my wit.

I know the Sheldon thing; never watch the show and the producers thought they had the right to use a poem without permission because everyone just worship at the feet of Hollywood and their celebrities and they can do no wrong. Therefore, I ignored the comment.

 

Keeping Up Appearances; "It's the Bucket woman!"

 

Wouldn't be some of those alternative facts would it?

 

Here are the facts folks and they are echoed by other members on here. For some reason ESW decided to use some really pizz-poor (can I say that on here?) glass retainers for the Madison; just compare them to the ones that Highbeam posted of the 30-NC. Why I don't know and I will probably ask ESW why. The stove is excellently made otherwise; beautiful and it can heat like no one's business. On the 30-NC they have four strips of metal holding the glass in place top-bottom-sides. On the Madison I have four small tabs that are barely long enough to mate with the glass. If they had just removed the two side strips of metal they could have saved money on the production costs of the Madison without really compromising the integrity of the retainer system. What I don't get is the attitude that I shouldn't be concern or unhappy with the issue of the glass becoming loose. Oh, just make something to work, jury-rig it for crying out loud. For one, I don't like jury-rigging anything; that is not what my Dad taught me. Plus, this is a manufacturing defect that needs to be addressed by ESW; yes, they are a great company and I love the fact they are USA and employing Americans and I not sorry in the least for buying the stove, I love my stove and as I have said before, I will fight you if you try to take it away; however, when a problem comes up with a design, the right thing to do is to fix it. Maybe not in my particular stove but without question in any future produced stoves; not to do so is just irresponsible on their part since it is a safety issue. Now I have designed a replacement clip that I think is an improvement and will do the job but that is outside of the responsibility of ESW to address their design flaw and correct it. I also plan on sharing my design of the replacement clips with ESW that should not add much to the cost of production of the Madison.

Now, if you feel like go ahead, doesn't affect me in the least. I really don't understand why anyone would get their undies in a bunch over this thread. I try to be lighthearted for the most part and really don't understand why some are upset here.

 

I guess not

 

OK, lemme know when you have the stove sorted, I have a storm door to put on.

 

Well, I for one do have to hand it to ya for taken some ribbing in a good way. Just be careful though, yer neighbors might bring over some home made vittles as a gift. If so, call in the test rats.

 

Haven't seen that member around lately...think she broke down and tried some fudge?

 

Might have choked munchin on some carpet? Beg my pard, so sorry. I will crawl back under my rock now. I guess a Christmas card next year is outta the question.

 

Ha! After that one you'll be lucky if they don't take your birthday away too!

 

Cabin fever is starting to get to 'em.

 

Bumping to the top for an update!!!!!! Well????? Or are you still analyzing???

 

And this thread was doing so well.....

Look for it sometime next fall!

 

Legit question IMHO.
