The guy who fitted it used this stuff so not sure it's this melting?

Agree it's a very good looking install.

 

Quick Google and that's rated to 150c+, no draught regulator visible so I guess it could get pretty hot and melt.

 

They gave you an installation cert I presume?.

Hi Gareth suppose it could be it melting? The stove has two silver vent regulators at the bottom of the stove. In to allow more air in out to close.

I've never actually looked to see what happens with silicone when it's burnt, I guess if it's a hybrid it's entirely possibly it melts.

 

What's the stove model ?.

Some are flammable, some produce toxic fumes.

This might turn into a weird YouTube afternoon of distraction 🙂

You sound as bad as me! I spend hours googling stuff!🤣

Does the black gunk smell of anything? If it's tar it'll smell strongly of tar (strong smokey sort of smell of you've not smelt it before).
