Hi there!
I am kinda new to having a wood stove. I bought mine used last season and has been great up to now.
Suddenly it started loosing draft and would let smoke out, the burn was weak , not clean and my chimney was constantly smoking. The house smells of smoke ...
I finally cleaned it out and took a look , not knowing what I am looking at.
Looks like there is a cracked plate at the back of the stove. I am attaching some pictures.
Is there any remedy for that or I am screwed?
Thank you in advance!
