Joe, et al,

One thing you may need to watch out for: The door on my 6 g. Atwood has a
bubble in the paint adjacent to the burner. Obviously it was overheated,
perhaps during some extended period of flame operation. Perhaps there
should be a heat shield inside the door to protect it. This may not be a
common problem, but I wish I'd protected against it before the new (10 yr
ago) paint job.
