My basement fireplace has not been used for several years. It seems to be functional, but the damper mechanism is finicky. I took a close look at it and everything seems to be in place. The problem is the damper door can get out of whack and not close properly, unless you fuss with the lever just right. What are the options here? The house was built in 1950.
Take it apart, wire brush the parts, and reinstall? Has anyone done this?
Take it apart, and put new parts in? How do I identify what I have, and where would I buy new parts?
The damper is nothing fancy, just a long narrow flap/door with a simple lever to operate it. Everything is contained inside the firebox, there are no rods or levers coming out of the mantle. Thanks for any advice.
