    I have a question for the group. I have a wood burning fireplace that has a lot of glazed creosote that basic sweeping couldn’t cleanse. A inspection was done and they thought they could see some mortar cracks & holes but hard to tell with all the creosote. I have been given two conflicting...

    Ok to make a heat shield for the stove rather than the wall?

    Hello, I am working on installing a Trolla 107a that's in good condition. I need to mount it so one side is facing the room and the other side is about 13" from the wall. Rather than mounting a huge heat shield one inch from the wall, can I bolt a smaller one to the stove? I would leave room...
