13 nc crack in fiber board

[Rebelduckman]

While cleaning out the stove for the summer, I managed to crack the ceramic fiber board. It's not all the way broken, just a slight crack on one side. Should I replace this now? Is this something that would affect how the stove performs?

IMO Even though it is cracked still use it. It does help the stoves preformance by keeping more heat in the burn chamber. It will still work fine with the small crack. might want to get one 1st chance you get in case it becomes unusable in the future (if you plan on having that stove for a while).

Thanks a lot, gonna go ahead and order a replacement in case it breaks. Yep, I'm planning to have this stove a long time

a crack isn't going to hurt things much probably wouldn't notice any drop in performance , if you order a new one save it and run with the one in the stove until the crack opens noticeably. you may find it will be ok for quite a while.
