Hi and thanks in advance for your reply’s.

My stove and liner were installed six weeks ago. I just went up to the roof for the first time to find the the top 13x13 plate has shifted. It was only secured with adhesive and no screws. What is the best way to secure it down. It appears to be just as big as the liner so any screws or bolts would need to installed in the clay.

Should I fix it my self or call the intaller to come out and fix it?

Thanks, Evan

I just use silicone most times and yes you should have them come out and fix it.
