Mornin' All,
My son noticed a crack on the fireback this morning as I was lighting the stove! I have no idea how long it's been there, and have also not noticed the stove operating any differently the last month since I've been using it daily! I've already e-mail the photo to my installer (who also sells VC stoves), and will give him a call shortly as soon as the office opens! I never load the stove high, so it's not possible a piece of wood fell on that area! Has anyone ever experienced anything like this? My main concern right now is, is it safe to run the stove?...and how could this have happened? I normally burn between 500-650F!

I just added a short video of the crack...so just click the next arrows from the image!
If anyone can answer my questions and ease my mind until I hear from my installer, I'd really appreciate it!
thanks so much!!
