So I did not realize how fragile the ceramic fiber board was and I broke it jamming a piece of wood into my wood stove. Is it safe to run the stove without it? For a few nights at least until I can figure out how to replace it? 🙁

Thank you

For a little while it won't hurt anything but you risk damaging the stove if you go to long
 
Ok thank you! Just need to figure out where to find a replacement piece. Looks easy enough to replace. Lesson learned!
