Empire Stove Step Top Add-On for Gateway Wood Burning Stoves

The Empire Stove step top add-ons (model numbers WT1BL, WT2BL and WT3BL) replace the top air deflector of a Gateway stove with a stepped top. The Gateway 1700 manual says it accumulates heat and increases the airflow.

Choose WT1BL for the Gateway 1700, WT2BL for the 2300 or WT3BL for the 3500.
