I purchased an old Fisher wood stove. Is measures out to be a Papa Bear model. I downloaded the owner’s manual. As I attempted to fire brick the inside. Surprisingly, the inside supports don’t allow to match the pic in my manual. The first row of bricks is exactly as directed. Not the second row. Has anyone seen or heard of this issue?
