Wood Stove Repair

Expert repair and restoration for wood-burning stoves including baffle replacement, firebrick, door gaskets, and catalytic combustor service.

BBB AccreditedNational Chimney Sweep GuildCSLB Licensed ContractorGoogle Guaranteed

Wood stoves provide reliable, efficient heat, but their internal components wear out over time. Cracked firebricks expose the stove body to extreme heat and shorten its life. Worn door gaskets allow uncontrolled air entry that wastes fuel and creates creosote. A failed catalytic combustor reduces efficiency and increases emissions. Eco Grizzly repairs and restores all types of wood-burning stoves, from classic cast-iron models to EPA-certified airtight units.

Wood Stove Repair

Common Wood Stove Repairs

Firebrick replacement: cracked or missing firebricks are replaced with matching refractory panels. Baffle and secondary burn plate: warped or broken baffles reduce efficiency and can allow flames to contact the stovetop. Door gasket replacement: we replace rope gaskets and adjust door latches for an airtight seal. Catalytic combustor service: catalytic stoves need the combustor inspected annually and replaced every three to six burning seasons. Stovepipe and flue connector repair: rusted or creosote-damaged single-wall pipe is replaced with new gauge-matched sections.

Safety Inspection

Every wood stove repair visit includes a safety check of floor protection clearances, wall shield distances, stovepipe connections, and chimney venting. We verify that your installation meets current NFPA 211 and local building code requirements. If any clearance violation is found, we recommend corrective measures.

Wood Stove Repair FAQs


Common questions answered by our certified technicians.

If firebricks are cracked through, missing chunks, or have fallen out of position, they should be replaced. Hairline surface cracks are normal and do not require immediate replacement.
Yes. We install freestanding wood stoves and wood stove inserts into existing masonry and factory-built fireplaces, including all chimney connection and venting work.
A well-maintained cast iron or steel wood stove can last 20 to 30 years or more. Key wear items like firebricks, door gaskets, baffle plates, and catalytic combustors need periodic replacement to keep the stove running safely and efficiently.
Stoves manufactured before 1990 are far less efficient and produce more emissions than modern EPA-certified models. If the firebox is warped, cracked, or the stove lacks a catalytic combustor, replacing it often makes more financial and environmental sense than repairing it.
Yes. The South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) requires all wood-burning devices to be EPA-certified. A building permit and inspection may also be required by the City of Pasadena. We handle the permitting process for you.
