After all of that worrying it was real easy and in the right spot. I have mine in a corner of the living room. It stands on tile/hardy back board and that sets on top of a hard wood floor. There is also a sub-floor and a joist or 2 in that spot. OH,i used single pipe in the house and then used double walled/insulated for the journey thru the ceiling and roof.

The latter likely a requirement of the insurance company. When I was planning for my shop in Idaho I swung by State Farm to advise and see what affect it would have on my rates. The first question my agent (a good friend) asked was if I was installing a wood stove. I wasn't so all was good. Conduct is the best proof of character.

I was told they all went out of business, law suits. My buddy just put a stove in his shop. He said triple wall was totally unavailable. His installation is with six inch insulated double wall, stove to cap. People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.

I've heard several folks give good reviews having their local metal guy make a 1/8" steel sheet with "feet" on it and I think they were saying it was about 1 1/2' gap (feet height?) on the bottom and they placed it about 2" - 3" out from the wall....said wall never even got warm behind the metal and placing their hand on the metal was warm but wouldn't burn. Holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other the person to die ...... "When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, "I used everything you gave me."

I’m a pretty fair heavy fabricator and a decent pipe fitter, but I’m not sure on stone masonry. Recently installed this in basement.......although NG....... Removed old coal/wood stove....for me too much mess & fuss...NG is cheap & clean Built the hearth frame from 2x12s....covered it with hardy backer board....had some left over cultured fake stone....just enough I may add...the actual top is 2" x 16" pavers....the flue? Used the existing 8" flue but added a 4" flexible metal approved gas flue & wind proof cap The shown 6" black is just decorative...NG supply was in room above so connection was easy..... Have two vents in ceiling that let the warm air flow upstairs..along with a ceiling fan to keep air moving As mentioned...the hearth raises stove off the floor.....better visual & easier to feed & maintain Suggestions are ceiling fan along with a fan in stove itself to keep air moving from the stove Laying the cultured stone is easy....just time consuming....rocks stick like glue with Type S mortar & backer board Linky........stove I used........ https://www.woodstoves-fireplaces.com/majestic-oxford-cast-iron-stove/ Your setup would not be legal here... Can't have that 90 degree bend in the chimney... Nor would I put those items so close to the stove.. Any stray ember and that basket's, ah, 'tinder'... ______________________________ This is not a great pic - the camera lens is a 14mm so it looks like things are a lot closer than they are - plus, this stove is a double-wall style on the sides with a shielded fan shroud in the back.. The brick wall behind doesn't get much warmer than about 100-110 degrees.. The previous stove was single-wall and that brick wall behind would store a lot of heat to radiate back into the room later.. The pad is 6'X6' and tiled with stone.. The chimney here is 24' in total length - and straight up through the roof.. again.......my stove set up is NG........the burner system is fully & securely enclosed screen and latched in glass face No embers or sparks coming out.......in the long run.....much cheaper & cleaner than wood or coal T R U M P W O N !

I got 5 of my strongest friends and we walked a piece of 1" bluestone up the stairs leveled it and PL'd it in place, when the oak floor was installed I had them picture frame around it. I used some old flat moulding as furring strips on the walls behind it (for dead air space) and screwed 18 ga Q deck to it. I made a mantel out of a large old beam I had lying around and lag bolted it to some heavy duty L brackets I secured to the wall beforehand...Finished it off with a light sand and dark stain.
