Review of Stovax Brunel 2cb stove
cover plate problems
I don''t know if any one else has had this problem but the back cover plate has fallen off twice in the six years we have had the stove. When it first happened we had it put back which involved stripping out the inside,( which saved having to remove the complete stove) all completed, then fell of again this year, tried to remove baffle inside to gain access bolts sheared with rust.
Stove now will be dumped and I say never again.Stove expert replied: The back cover plates should twist and lock into place and if they fall off can usually be repositioned with fire cement or heat proof silicone. If the failure is due to rust of locating lugs then replacements can be purchased. A shame to discard a 6 year old stove.

I have had the exact same problem. Sitting in the room with the fire cold, we heard a loud clang and had no idea what it was to begin with. Once we had found it lying on the floor we were somewhat relieved. The cast iron blanking plate has a clamp which had sheared where the bolt hole is. I can only assume that I must have fitted it myself 6 years ago, forgotten. I am assuming that I have to take the whole thing apart to fit the new one. Can anyone tell me what to remove the various screws with, I can’t see clearly, covered in soot but it looks like Allen keys. The stove has been fantastic, can’t fault it. It must need a good clean out anyway after this long. Incidentally, the clamp is now obsolete, i managed to get one though, I hope it lasts.????
