I'm assuming your talking about the black rectangle about mid door closest to the stove? If so it's not missing. I'm assuming it's where the ends meet and there's a extra little patch over them.

Oh ok. Then perfect.
In the picture looks like there is a gap. But it could be a patch too. All good
Temps hit the low 60's today. Let the stove go out yesterday for the first time since Thanksgiving. Probably won't relight until tomorrow night.
We had 33.2 this morning with the basement temp at 70, up here between 66 and 67 with the sleeper at 68. Another load of white pine went in the wood stove this morning.

The family has to be loving it too. 👍
It's 34.2 out tonight with heavy rain, the temps up here are 69 to 70 with the basement at 75. The Liberty received a load of ash and pine, four splits each.
Going down to 36F outside tonight. By 7pm the living room temp droppec down to 65F and there’s no more thermal mass left in the granites around the stove. Fully loaded up and relit the stove with oak and locust.
Temps been holding pretty steady low to mid 30's. Couple half loads of box elder and aspen during the day, just loaded a 3/4 load of ash for overnight.
We had 37.4 this morning with the basement temp at 72 and the temps up here between 68 - 69.
Another load of pine went in the wood stove this morning, I left the basement when it hit 79.

Struggling to keep coal bed with the occasional mini splits and twigs - but all in all keeping living room well above 66F.
Split a huge armful of mini pieces about .5-1in thick this afternoon; I’ll be using lots of those to rekindle fire from tired coal bed in days to come….
Edit: forgot to mention ambient temperature is mid-50s in freakin Jan. Hence the struggle. I should be burning 3 full reloads per day but instead I’m burning 25% reloads 3 times per day.

The warmer temps have allowed us to burner 9 face cord of pine this winter ( a record amount for us) and not even two face cord of hardwood yet, another record amount for us.
We have brought home 28 bags of pellets so far this year from what we purchased in the spring but only have burned 17 so far.
We have some single digit temps at night coming up but really nothin cold or what we are use to in January. We're saving on the hardwood so far this year so I won't complain, we usually burn 12 face cord per year.
44f right now. Was around 60 for awhile this afternoon. Just trying to keep a draft going till colder weather gets here in a few days. Small oak fire this evening.

Feeling the Heat
Overnight lows at 40 went to bed with the house at 70. Last fire built was 12 hours earlier. I let the house go cold overnight so I could at least get a decent fire this morning. Woke up to house at 63. Full load of ash. Supposed to start cooling down this weekend.
Let fire die out in the evening yesterday, thermal mass in the granites carried the living room last night. High of 44F today, dipping to low 30s tonight - relit a full load around 7 this morning and will probably reload before family starts to gather in living room late afternoon.
Terrible winter in RI so far. This week has been warm, wet and foggy with no snow in sight. Got some ash in the stove. 37 and raining all day.
Just a question here---can a person burn cardboard boxes in a wood burning stove--just curious since I have a lot of cardboard that I have stacked up and "saved" ..clancey
