Is the cast iron top on the blaze king lowerable? That is, can those bolts be screwed in and has anyone done this?
It's just strange to me when viewing/sitting on our sofa with the huge gap in between there cause we painted ours biscuit to match our pipe and I think it looks a little strange with that big, dark gapWhat is the goal? If it is cooking heat, you can just lift off the top to have direct exposure to the stove top.

I think you're overthinking it. It's a beautiful stove with unmatched performance. You did a great job with the stove pipe. Now sit back and enjoy the heat. Then go to sleep. Wake up to a warm stove. Then go to work. Come home to a warm stove. Then go back to sleep. On the second morning reload the stove.View attachment 145741

No I actually ordered high heat paint offline and the color is parchment. This is the only way I could have a Blaze King and pass the WAF...Did you use that Stove Bright paint for that? Looks great!
This gap is not unusual or unique to the Ashford. Take a look at Alderlea stoves or similar styled stoves that vent below a convective trivet top.

Thanks for chiming in... I was only curious if it could be lowered. Love my BK, long burn times and low burning temps. Having two issues; smoke smell coming from it and not being able to get black off glass (even when burning hot). I'll post in a original thread...We do not endorse any changes to the product as safety tested, I would comment that the catalytic thermometer probe would not fit to the correct positioning behind the catalytic combustor. You could contact Condar and ask if cutting down the length of the probe would be advisable.
If you have the dual fans, you may wish to verify fit with any alteration of the top positioning. Undoubtedly, air flow would also change with or without fans and could influence tested and approved clearances if stove temps change.
Caveat emptor (or in this case owner beware)
