I was wondering the best way to replace if anyone has had to do. and if its safe to operate the stove while waiting on new one. Old one is still in just split from one end to the other..

the display model in my showroom has furnace cement holding the air tube plemun together, and gasketing between air riser and baffle assynatedawg3256 said:They covered it under warranty, so i can't quote u a price. no cement it has a gasket.

My baffle on my Hearthstone II became severely warped from excessive heat. I knew I had to take off the 3 panel soapstone top and as careful as I was, I did cause a small chip in the surface (dang it). Anyway, because my baffle was so out of shape, even though I removed the 2 screws (I had to drill them out) holding it up, I could not maneuver it off of the the two hangers on the back wall to get it out the door. I had only two options, to change the shape of the baffle to get it out, or take the cast top off completely. I removed the 8 screws and the temp coil setscrew, and the top lifted off easily, no gasket. I could then easily pull the baffle out of the top, replaced it, and am now toasty warm and sipping a G&T as I type this!
