Back in the 80's my best friend and I renovated my dad's place, and one of the the things we did was disassemble the stove for repainting. We used a special putty during the reassemble, but it was EXTREMELY difficult to get the parts to fit together again properly. Something to do with ambient temperature causing the metal to expand/contract. Also, my dad's building has steam heating, which is turned off at night, so it's wicked cold in the wee hours...... the stove works great when the coals are banked and the doors closed and vents adjusted, so it radiates heat most of the night.
Dad has no worries about remaining in the building for the rest of his life, either.
