Stove2

I am trying to post photos and hope this works. The damper door has been removed and the hinge part of the frame was so brittle it snapped off at the hinges. So on thrr rear is the smoke shelf and of course the front has the rest of the frame and lintel. Nice work on the firebox lining. Sheet metal would work better for me on the rear wall due to limited depth. Question I have is doesnt this compress the roxal when you secure the sheet metal and is it ok to do? The white in the photos are old towels stuffed up there temporarily. so I cant load photos on this talet so I will send to my computer and post. I am a dinosaur. Sorry
