I have had my Ashby for a year now, it was installed in February last year. After about a month and a half of use I noticed the paint on the metal firebrick was chipping off in a small area. Now after another couple of months of use the chipping had increased. Is this normal? I asked my installer about it last year and he said that it is. Really? I find it hard to believe for the price of this stove that peeling paint after such a short time is normal wear. If is it not normal should I push to have St.Croix replace the firebrick? If it is normal, can it be painted and what paint would be suggested.
Thanks!
