According to the manual for the stove, it just needs ember protection. The instructions states the floor protection should be 49.75 inch deep by 43.38 wide; although I might make the pad wider for aesthetics. I may make it deeper so it goes completely back to the wall. The minimal clearance from combustible materials from rear of stove is 9 inches; Single Wall Chimney Connector Unprotected Surface with side shields Does anyone have any plans or any advice on what to use, on how to build, a hearth? I am also thinking about putting up a wall protector as well but the hearth is the main issue at this point.
I guess since I can type with eight fingers and two thumbs I never learn any of those shortcuts and I don't use a telephone to access the internet.
I thought about a quick and dirty hearth for now but then reading about not having cracks that embers can fall into so I can not just put down some hardiebacker. Hardibacker and similar products come in 3'x5' and that is too small. It seems none of this can be easy. Friend was telling me to buy one of those premade things that are over priced and too small. I just want to be warm.
I gotta say.... If you load the stove(when u get to that point), and an ember falls out, and you DON'T notice it, then we got issues.... Two words-----spray bottle. Three other words----cup of water. I am confident this will all come together just "fine like" for you, Kimberly.
I know IT, so if you want to throw out such thing as TCP/IP, ATM (no, not the teller machine), SIP, PSTN, and so on I can follow you, otherwise me no speak the language.
The manual states, "For the USA: Hearth must extend at least 16 in. from the front of the fuel opening." For our friends north of the boarder that is 18 inches. I look at some of the photos on the forum and many appear; and I know perspective and foreshortening can come into play, to be less than 16 inches from the opening. How critical is it that I meet the 16 inch requirement?
Yeah, and they always tell them; what good is an inspection for safety if you are going to let them know. I had family working in industry and they said they would run around fixing all the safety violations before the inspections, safety violations that were in place for months. That broken step? Nah, let them jump over it; then wham bam it is fixed because we are going to be inspected.
I looked at regular sheet metal at Tractor Supply and it was over my budget; stainless steel is gold. What about something for a poor person? I mean l need cheap.
