gasket material (you can use masking tape to hold it in place). The gasket provided will expand 2-3
times its original thickness once heated to seal gaps.
BRICK AND CERAMIC INSULATION REPLACEMENT
Bricks and ceramic insulation should be inspected annually and replaced if necessary. Cracked bricks are fine
if they remain in place. Bricks that are crumbling or falling out need to be replaced. The ceramic insulation is
located on the top of the stove’s baffle and is designed to keep heat in the stove and increase efficiency. If the
insulation is in place it can be left alone. If the insulation becomes torn during cleaning, simply lay it back
together tightly in that area. If the insulation tears to multiple pieces, it should be replaced. To replace the
ceramic insulation, remove the 3 burn tubes allowing the entire baffle to come down and out of the stove.
Mark or otherwise note the order of the tubes so they can be replaced in the same location. Place the
insulation blanket on top of the baffle so that the cut-out aligns with the bypass opening in the baffle. Re-
install the baffle and the 4 burn tubes.
