BK First fire test....No good.

Here's one of the crack. It's right below the tip of the chisel. You can't really see the crack in this pic, but you can see it bent down a hair. The chisel is sitting on top of the gasket of the by pass damper.

And finally, the caulk I took out today around the block off plate.

View attachment 185005 Here's one of the current gasket around the bypass damper.

What is that wavy plate in the middle?

What is that wavy plate in the middle?

Part of the stove that I was hoping was correct, since I went and looked at a new one, and that plate was straight. It looks like it's supposed to be that way though.

That stoves been ran HARD!
Once again, I'd skip the silicone near the liner. 1/4" is very acceptable.

Lots of those bars are bent or melted. It's purpose is to keep you from shoving wood into the bypass. Mine was welded in crooked but is not melted.
