Damn i just got the same stove for my helsport varanger camp lavvo. Wish you have done the review week ago (facepalm). Any solution for that hole at the top? Maybe steel plate and rock on top will do...
I just ended up welding the top cover in. I did try putting a flat oven tray on top with weight. It did help a little bit but would still get smoke coming in from time to time. I thought about putting a stove gasket in there, but just decided to weld it in instead and doing that fixed the problem. In all, it’s definitely a great stove, I just don’t know why on earth they would put that on the top of it knowing that when you close the damper, smoke would come out from it.
