hell i would have thrown a metal cutting blade
into my old worm drive skil saw and just cut
(fabricated) a piece but for $15.00 bucks

i was
able to go and grab a 1/4 inch thick steel
replacement piece and i just lit the stove.

Who cares about seeing the fire anyways. The steel plate will probably transfer more heat to the house than the glass ever did.

once we purchase the outdoor heating unit
that'll heat all the buildings
that stove will be yanked and utilized elsewhere...

Are you getting one of those outdoor wood burning furnaces?
Love to hear about how it works, let us know.

but they are being modified to have less emissions


with new EPA standards so we are waiting for those changes first.
