A Jotul F-100 was purchased last year. I'm dealing with Jotul to get answers to these questions, but I wanted your thoughts as well.
1) There is an empty camber in the bottom of the Jotul F 100. I'm guessing this has something to do with the ash drawer in the European model. Assuming there is zero concern with combustibility of the floor structure under the stove - may I remove the plate located at the base of the door and burn wood in the lower camber to get more wood volume in the stove and take out the ash lip obstruction the bottom of the door glass?
2) I have noticed the hiss of air into the stove after shutting down the air inlet. This appears to be coming from the left rear. Is there a place prone to leaks that I should look for and that I may seal after my spring cleaning? What would be a recommended sealer?
