Hey all, there seems to be precious little about this stove on the internet, but we moved into a house that was thankfully equipped with it last year. It saved us from a few weeks of sub zero temperatures that overwhelmed our brand new heat pump system. This year when I called the sweep out to inspect things to make sure I was burning right he noticed we had no baffle blanket, so he left my firebricks in the bottom of the stove and said he would follow up (he did not). I know I could buy a generic one since I can't seem to find an actual part number for it, but how do you figure out how thick of a one to buy, and if I needed baffle boards or something else in there?
 
Looking at the manual, I don't see a baffle blanket mentioned, but may have missed it. The baffle panels are necessary, there are 3 of them, two large and one skinny one in the back. If you want to add a blanket, a generic 1/2" kaowool blanket cut to fit should work.

That's what was getting me, but near the end of the manual it mentions checking the ceri-blanket so I wasn't terribly sure.
