Hi All,
I've been working and practicing with our new QF Voyageur insert over the last week, and things are going pretty well! The fire is burning very cleanly, and it's putting out a lot of nice heat with the help of a slow revolving ceiling fan. Over the last week with daytime temps in the 30s and nighttime as low as 18, our furnace has come on only twice for about 5 minutes.
The glass on the insert is staying pretty clean now -- but there's one spot that always seems to come up within about 5 minutes of firing it up. The rest of the glass is clean. The spot is right by the hinges on the left side of the stove. This spot won't burn off. And when I look at the gasket I see there's a very small gap there. I've tried to take pictures of both the spot and the small gap (about 1/2 inch or so).
Does anyone think this could be causing the spot? Or is it just the hinges? Or should I just take a chill pill and not worry about it?
Any advice is welcome.
My thanks,
Mary
