Your missing back cover something like this. Those vent holes take cold air from floor up the stove and vents out top double heater pipe. My back cover looks like this. Yours maybe different.

Getting some parts sorted out.

I have open holes to either side of the flue outlet...is that missing something?

Larry, The bonnet on mine covers the two duct holes on either side of the tea kettle lid and becomes part of the ductwork feeding the double heater outlet.

Yeah Paulie, Okay. That makes perfect sense...I notice *Paned* had the double heater outlet as part of his #415 bonnet there.

I'm still confused as that piece *Paned* showed above didn't seem to show the provisions to carry the 2 risers up into the 1 outlet double heater outlet with the bonnet, I think??? But then again, maybe it does/can???

Anyways it will all unfold as he progresses on to the assemble portion.

EDIT: I came across this photo that looks like it shows how things would fit, if I can get the reflector and the half circle ducting.

It creates a passage between the bonnet and inner stove which draws air up from floor. Here is a best pic I could get from the 261 showing the inside of the back of stove feeding the double heater vent. Those 2 vent holes you showed just feed into the space created by the cover and bonnet . The other picture is how that piece fits on the 416 bonnet. Hope this helps.

Okay, I understand what is going on and what parts it takes now. Thanks Guys!

Making some progress. Cat waiting on heat from the fire pot.

Smart cat!!! Knows a great stove when it sees one.

It's looking really good, P.

I like how in the 2nd pic, you have the suns rays shining through. Keep up the nice work.
