Hi All

Pretty new to the stove world but thought id try restoration of a beautiful Esse Dolphin Stove but im not sure on a couple of parts and would appreciate any advice or guidance. The bottom panel bit is cracked so i was presuming that i need to replace this or get it fixed - just not sure what to buy or what i would be asking someone to do. The bottom part says its a dragon 2 and it looked to be on a bed of sand but again i wasnt sure if that was correct. I had a look at some websites and can see following for sale and wondered if i should buy -

https://www.solidfuelappliancespares.co.uk/product/circular-grate-dragon/

dont know if i need any of those parts

I know i can replace the glass part relatively easily as i have seen some of the responses to previous threads but any clarification would be appreciated

i only intend to burn wood in in but wasnt sure if i needed a grate. I couldnt seem to find anything other than a universal grate on ebay but i wasnt sure if that would work

Thanks Again.
