I have a couple of questions about some issues I'm having with my Jotul F600 that I would like to address this spring/summer. One issue is that the back center of the stove has an air leak on the rear center plate of the stove where it meets the bottom of the stove. I dont think this area is supposed to be an air inlet but want to verify. I think I should be able to fix this by just removing the plate and putting some stove cement at all of the seams; would this be the best way to fix this?
The second issue I'm having is the rear plate on the right side of the center plate rattles in place sometimes - I can fix this temporarily by shifting the plate slightly. Is this a common problem and what is the best way to fix this?
I've included a photo that highlights the two issues I'm talking about. The stove has only been through 1.5 heating seasons but I try and burn 24/7 in the winter.
