Questions and answers
where are fireplace door shims located
The fireplace door shims on the Blaze King Ashford 30 are located near the hinge side of the door, close to the knife edge that contacts the door gasket. This area experiences more pressure compared to the latch side, which may contribute to sealing issues.
