Forecast here in lower mi.... 90 for the next 2 days. Which means humid and miserable

Yes, looks like most of the east coast is about to get hot for 2-3 days. Still 58º here @9:30am.

You must remove the cover plates and upper fireback assembly. Your localdealer or V.C. may actually be able to provide some help. These days there seems to be tech. support . Sort of...

I found out that the combustion package is simply held in place by the upper fireback. Now I would like to replace the gasket between the fireback and the underside of the top plate. This would be a lot easier if I could take the top plate off, but I can't find any fasteners. Is it possible the top plate in the VC Resolute Acclaim is pressed or cemented on?

I am itching to light a fire in my new stove (VC will stay asleep few weeks longer), but 43*C with humidex for tomorrow tell me otherwise.......

I am anxious to start burning again As well. I’m tired of the heat of the summer. I work outside everyday and have had my fill of 80-90 degree weather. However, as ready as I am for the burn season my stove and chimney are not. I have lots of maintenance to do and little time to do it.

Woke up to a drizzle and 55 this morning. I might have a fire this eve. However, the forecast calls for 82 for tomorrow....and then a solid dip to high 50s for the weekend. I will be at the lake this weekend so no fire in the Encore. But i will finally get a chance to break in the Princess.

Glad to see you’re back. I think someone should fire up the 18/19 thread.
