I gave the stove a light cleaning today after my 4 break in fires. Removed some ash, left a nice bed though, cemented the gap that the cement came out of, and gave it a good look over. Found no problems and now I'm looking forward to cooler weather.
I have two questions:
1) The manual says that I can remove the two shipping bolts on the cat but I can't find exactly which bolts they are. I am thinking they are the ones right on top on each side of the cat but I don't want to remove something I shouldn't. Anyone have a pic they can post to show me where they are?
2) The glass had some light soot on the sides but the center was clear. This cleaned nicely with a little mixture of ash and water. I am thinking this is likely from the moisture being driven out during the curing but wanted to make sure. (Before you ask, yes the wood is VERY dry and had no sizzle when it was burning.)
Thanks,
fv
