    I've noticed this on a few stoves. It's like a crazing pattern. Lots of tiny fractures. I'm not entirely sure what causes it but feel it may be down to use of fuel with high petroleum coke content. It happens over time but if it has happened within 2 months it may be a good idea to change your fuel. Are you running on a lot of smokeless fuel or wood?
  • yeh using smokeless and wood i think it happened when i tried a smokeless fuel for open fires as recommended in the shop but have stooped using this now
