While the Regency is a nice little stove the small fire box can be a problem. Hot coals are prone to fall out of the stove when the door is opened and raking coals forward.
It seemed like a simple fix to raise the lower door lip to better keep coals inside the stove.
The first version was just a flat piece of 1/8" stainless steel, it worked fine except that it kept the heat away from the glass causing it to get black on the bottom.
The second version was perforated (213 holes) and had a slight bend away from the glass. This allowed more heat to reach the glass.
I cut the piece out on a water-jet machine, ( it's nice to be able to have a machine shop available)
It was attached to the stove with 3 stainless steel flat head screws.
So far it is working very well.
