Hello everyone - I just got my hearth built and installing my Jotul f3. Please tell me I haven't screwed this up. I am rear venting the stove, so per the instructions I knocked out the rear vent plate ( a bit scarry) everything seemed to go fine and I figured there would be some jagged edges to clean up. Took a file and cleaned up the hole real nice to fit the stove pipe adapter that came with the stove. now the adapter fits just fine and I have pushed it all the way against the back of the stove but in a couple of spots around the adapter I see small amounts of space between the adapter and the stove. Now I am a total novice but to me this is a problem not being completely sealed? Have I filled off too much? not enough? does this matter? If too much is there a high temp sealer of some sort?
any advice would be appreciated - thanks
