The top of my Oslo hinges. I moved it recently and, unfortunately and most likely, somehow messed something up when lifting it. I can find the two bolts on the front of the stove, but are their bolts in the back? If there are they are definitely loose or something is messed up. It feels like there is a loose gasket as well?

Many, many thanks! Turns out the washer for the back bolt was bent--most likely when we moved the stove incorrectly (meaning lifting from the top). Little bit of effort but got it off and now I can start fresh, new gaskets and a good clean out. Many thanks to everyone on the board.

I do have one more question for now. The ash tray door, I need to replace the gasket. It does come off, correct? The hinge looks different than the other hinges, thus the question.
