Hi all,
I have been visiting this site since last year, and I have learned so much from everyone here. Thank you for all your information.
After alot of reading from you guys, I finally purchased a Hearthstone Mansfield last winter, and it's a fantastic stove. I have a 1900 sq. ft. ranch, and it keeps it quite toasty in here even during the low 20s and teens. It is centrally located in my living room, and when I come out of my bedroom in the morning, the soft warmth of heat from the stones hit me even though there are only a few coals in it. What a beast!
Now for the question. I was cleaning up some of the ashes when my shovel tapped against the long, vertical, square metal bar on the back left side of the stove and it was loose. I tapped the bar on the right, and it didn't move at all. Is this a problem? Did I damage it somehow? Is it a loose screw that I can tighten or can I cement it back to the wall? Or do I just leave it alone. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanx, Todd
