I have an ESW 55-SPHEP that I purchased and installed this fall after a lot of reading on this forum. Still doing a lot of reading to get it fine tuned, it had air leaks all around the ash pan, door and hopper lid and a bad convection blower. ESW has been great about sending all the parts out to get it running properly just like people mentioned on here. It kept our house nice and toasty during the extreme cold we had and I would still recommend this stove to people even with all the fine tuning I have had to do.
My question is, I broke the fiber board when cleaning the stove today. Is this just there for looks or does it serve an actual purpose? It looks fine to me without it in there and if it serves no purpose other than looks I will keep the $60 that it cost.
