Hi all,
Lopi Republic 1750 installed about 7 weeks ago. I saw them install the surround and I assumed it would just pull apart nice and easy.
I'm going to pull it apart in a few days to shove Roxul ATS Fire Batts around the backside of it and up around the flue pipe (to ensure that the top of the stove isn't getting slammed with cold chimney air and to keep heat from reflecting back outside of the house).
I've inspected the surround pieces and pulled on them some to no avail: each trim piece (about 10" piece) is a section that appears joined to the next piece. I believe these just slide together/apart with metal clips holding them in place. However, there is one continuous piece of metal trim with no fasteners for each side - horizontal top pieces and vertical side pieces.
The metal trim does not have any obvious locations for which it would come undone. The trim pieces themselves are nice and flush everywhere else. I've grabbed everything and pulled with a fair bit of force and didn't find any play....so where do I start on this puppy?
I assume this is really easy - I'm asking because I'm scared of scratching it in the process of figuring it out, and would appreciate any guidance.
Joe
