Stanley stoves, made in China?

Phil.x

I seriously think they've gone cheap with Chinese steel.
This is the second one to crack within two years.
I was lighting the fire with cut up timber about 10mins later "bang" I knew straight what had happened as it happened the other side a year+ back.
The first was replaced under warranty, any idea on the price of a replacement part.

Is that steel boiler or fire brick that's cracked.

Is that just the fire brick that's cracked and not the steel?

It's a steel side baffle, about 8mm thick.
