Longer screws won't fix the problem. That was the first idea I had. Longer screws makes the fascia go on, but there is a gap between the fascia and the woodstove that isn't supposed to be there. And also you can't get the pins in the doors. So longer screws is not an option. The gaps in the fire stop have been foamed with orange foam. It's nasty looking, but it works. And the sharp edge on that flashing has been folded down about an inch so now the sharp edge isn't cutting into the ppe. Ugly, yes. But it will pass code like it is now.If the screws are not long enough get longer screws. As for the electrical work, ugh. That's all I have to say about that. Foam for a fire stop?, I have used a fire rated foam to seal holes through framing that had wires running through them. Not sure what size gap it is it's limit. Can't remember the name, but got it at the local building store. Orange can, orange foam. I believe most fire stops in homes only delay the spread of flames and not stop them all together seeing that most are surrounded by wood.
I now understand the fascia problem. And I assume the stove cant be slid out to meet the fascia. I hope you find a solution!Longer screws won't fix the problem. That was the first idea I had.
