I woke up to a bummer of a Christmas Eve present this morning--what appears to be a crack in the backplate of my stove. I already had some kindling burning, so I proceeded with making my fire, but I guess my primary question is: is this safe to use?
Secondary question: will this be repairable or can I replace the backplate? (It's an older Jotul Firelight).
