Someone please help - cant get stove hot enough

[kflorence]

Oh my goodness..............let the stove cool silly.

I have to say I laughed out loud with this one. All kidding a side I would never risk burning myself over a wood stove! Thank you for your concern though.

Just put it back the way it was for now. There's nothing you can do with it removed other than gaze up into the fireplace to find out whether or not there's a block-off plate. It's either there or it's not. (My money's on not). In any case, the block-off plate and the full liner are the issues you need to take up with the installer. Rick

I completely agree with you 100% I am insisting on a full liner and block off plate and I will stop payment on the check 1st thing in the morning. That will get some fire (no pun intended) under the installer to rectify the situation. Thank you for all of your input.

I will try to explain as best a woman can who has never had a wood stove before

Girlfriend, you're gonna be a "Pro" when this is over ;-)

And if I ever see the "best as a woman can" line, I'm gonna pop ya one

Sorry, i know what you mean. This site is mostly men so I was trying to explain the best I could so that they would understand what i was doing.

kflorence, when a thread gets this long (over 100 posts), what happens many times is people scan a few posts, think they have something to contribute, and post a response without carefully reading the entire thread. Consequently, we end up re-visiting things time and again, and tend to lose focus on where the troubleshooting process is leading us. If it's OK with you, I propose that I close this thread to further inputs and tomorrow you start a new thread to continue the saga...sound alright? Rick
