This evening I decided to do my first break in fire, I kept the fire under 250 stove top temp just like Ron from woodstock instucted me to do, everything was going great til I hear this pop then I look into the glass and I see two white things in the back panel, I open the door and I then see the damage to the back panel, I hope you can see the picture i upload because this is my first post with a picture. I just emailed Ron from woodstock so I will wait and see what he says..This was my only fear about buying a stove from woodstock because the are about five hours away from me...I know they will make it right I'm not worried about that its the shipping back of the stove that is the hassel as you all know the stove is very heavy...I will just wait and see what Ron tells me, and I will post a picture of my stove soon I hope...
