No complaints and the weather has been this cold before and burning the same wood but why now do i have to set it below 1?Set it at 1/4 a couple times.Maybe air getting in ever so slight somewhere?
Keep us posted as this is my first year with my Fireview as well,,,Always willing to learn something new about the FireviewPossible but been gettin that up to 60 a couple times,i can still control the fire though.Just curious.Dennis told me when it got cold the setting would drop.

What is the reason for the tab on the cat frame ? Why is there even a correct orientation for the cat frame? Is there also an in and out side to the cat? Just all new to me Dennis.You have it right. The one I speak of is toward the rear of the stove. Dead center of the cat frame as you can see in the picture. As you can tell, this picture was taken from the rear of the stove.

Yeah, that sounds like the gasket ain't right.. . .I reseated it on the gasket but the cat frame is setting metal to metal. . .
Mine is the same way. You have guessed correctly; nut on the shackle(?) hitting the rod that it slides on. Operate the bypass lever with the top open, and you will see the pieces that are hitting. Again, makes you appreciate the way they built this stove so that you can get to everything, even if you just want to have a look.1 more question.When i work the bypass handle it has enough play in it that i have to pull it towards me so that it closes,otherwise it will catch and sometimes wont move to close it.Been this way since new.Is this normal?It binds pretty solid metal to metal.It clanks right out,like a bolt head catching or what have ya.
Yes, mine was catching at times after a few weeks of burning, then it cleared up....yes it is nice that you can just get to everything for service,,,,being a Harley tech for a dealer years ago , that's what sold me on this stove,,,,ease of maintenance! Just lift the top and all your parts are right there...I loved that you can just lift out the cat, not a tool needed! I know the Blaze Kings seem like fine stoves as well,, along with Lopi's new cat stove,,, but wonder what's involved in removing those cats for cleaning?You're mechanically inclined, Charly. You're guess on the tab is as good as mine.
My guess = the original design had a receptacle for the tab to hold the cat in place, then they realized that gravity would do it.
AFAIK, cat elements are bi-directional. . .never seen anything like "this side up."

Thanks for the pic...will have to check and see if I put mine in backwards,have a feeling I did...You have it right. The one I speak of is toward the rear of the stove.
