I bought this Esse Dragon Mark 1 from London yesterday.
It is lovely and if I can get it to work will be in the hearth.
It arrived and there are a few problems.
The major one is a hole in the back. I know the mica and seals can be replace but can the hole in the stove be repaired? It also has a part siezed up.
Any help would be appreciated.
