Preparation

The installation of the Resolute two piece fireback can 
be accomplished by one person but it may be helpful to 
have an assistant. Please read through the instructions 
presented here to familiarize yourself with the compo-
nents and the procedure.
Wear old clothes and cover the area surrounding the 
Resolute with newspaper or drop cloth. Clean the inside 
of the stove of sand and ashes (you may want to save 
some to reline the stove bottom when finished).
Set aside at least one hour for the removal and installa-
tion of the fireback. The job may take two or three hours 
to complete.

Procedure

1.  Remove the griddle, flue collar, flue collar extension 

and front door.

2.  Remove the Phillips head screw from the right 

insert and pry the right insert out with the large 
screwdriver. If the screw is difficult to remove, you 
can often loosen it by holding the screwdriver in 
place and striking it a few times with the hammer. 
Use of penetrating oil on hard-to-remove screws 

is often helpful. Follow manufacturer’s directions. 
Usually the oil needs to soak the threads of the 
screw for 10 to 15 minutes.

3.  Remove the Phillips head screw from the left insert 

and take out the left insert.

4.  Pull the fireback out, catching the damper ears and 

damper as you do so. Unhook the damper linkage 
from the damper rod.

5.  Clean the remaining ashes and furnace cement 

front the inside of the stove. Be sure to clean the 
cement channels on the back of the stove and 
lower fireback so the new cement will adhere.

6.  Cement the secondary air tube channel in the stove 

back. (Fig. 2)
