Yup, decided to keep the 5700, and just throw on the new legs I got from my dealer. The original legs were not machined flat to make a nice even contact with the washers on the bolts. I'm leaving the leg bracket on I originally cut out to make the ash dump handle have enough throw. The bracket was not cut out enough from Quadra-Fire. They sent two new wrong brackets to replace what I had cut out. What I did will work fine. So at this point I'm going to run what I have. Dealer offered a Lopi Liberty swap out for my troubles , but I've decided to just hang onto the 5700. Hauling 500lbs of steel around gets old. Now knowing if any ash bits stay on the sealing plate for the ash dump ,I'll have an air leak into the stove, I might just shovel the ashes out of the stove itself, and not worry about a runaway stove from an improper seal from the ash dump plate. I was thinking of just putting a solid piece of metal under the stove and forget about dumping the ashes.
