Yep. Sucks for you to go through this. On the other hand, it is the first time I have ever heard of this on an IR.
Good to hear that you are on the path to a final resolution. Sorry that you had to go to such lengths to prove your case, but I am glad to hear that Quad tech support listened. Occasionally new stoves do have leaks. The Isle Royale has a good performance record. FWIW, leaks are not just limited to cast iron stoves. BrotherBart had one in a new Englander 30NC. And we see it cropping up with ill fitting doors on new stoves occasionally.

Hi everyone, I just wanted to say how much I love my new 5700 What a stove! It has a huge firebox and fits 24" logs depth wise. This makes for easy loading and no need for those log holders. Haven't packed it yet but I'm expecting really good burn times. If anybody is thinking about the 5700 go for it I love mine. I also owe lots of thanks to Quadra fire. They stand behind there stoves and traded me a higher value 5700 with no cost to me. What a great company!
I was wandering if anybody would be interested in warming shelves, gold brackets and mitten rods for your Quad Isle Royale? I had the shelves installed on mine but never installed the brackets or the mitten rods. I have no need for them now that I have a 5700.
All of this will be familiar to you....

Watched your video and wow that would scare me. Never again will I own a cast iron stove. I love my quad 5700. Use a candle or lighter and slowly follow all your seams to see if the flame gets sucked into a leaky joint. Best time to check for the leak is when its cold outside and the fire is hot with the air control closed.

I think today is the big day for the dealer inspection of js' stove. That's an unedited video that I'd like to see. Seriously.
