FLUE FOR LEEDS BISHOP CHIMNEY POT AND JOTUL F3 TD MF conversion grate stove

[fulwood]

I'm in the UK and I'm going to be using 904/904 6" flue liner. I'm hoping to find a cowl that fixes to the liner so I don't need to take the pot off. I can't see any pictures of a cowl on a leeds bishop chimney pot on the internet, though there are plenty of nice terracotta coloured ones around, I dunno if they're suitable for my pot? Obviously I see the neighbours cowl, but I find it a bit uninspiring and detail matters to me :0)

Also, I am currently refurbishing a jotul f3 td with multi fuel conversion grate. I cannot get the two screws loosened on the door glass clips for love nor money. I'm worried about drilling them out and ruining the threads in the cast door, as a new door will cost £150.00 plus. Any ideas? I've soaked them in WD but they seem to be ceased.

Here's a picture of the door and screws in question.

I don't know about the clay pot, don't run into those too often around here. One thing you might try, lay the door flat on a paded work bench, as you try to unscrew, hit the end of the screw driver with a hammer. This gives you a similar result as an impact driver, a guy that I work with showed me this and it often works . You are most likely going to break those screws off though, be prepared to drill and tap.

OK. I'll let you know how I can get on. Thanks.
