made my hearth pad out of angle iron used cocrete screws to mount to floor and welded corners, 5'x5' left over stone took up some space, placed larger ones for stove feet.

all in all was fun, still finishing, very rewarding doing it my self. the house was completly electric when i bought it, put in a gas fired furnace, central a/c and of course the wood burner. its nice not to have to buy the gas, out of three years it was inuse filled tanks once!!

:agree2: Also, have the local fire department send a guy over to answer installation questions before you put too much time into it, they would rather come now than later.

Naaa...them guys don't know codes. :dizzy:

Call your Building Department. Heck, I'm an Inspector and still pulled a permit and had one of the guys in my department come do an inspection. I had him fill out the Insurance company questionaire as well. WDO

Oh wait i have one

Materials like ceramic tile, stone, brick, etc have virtually no insulative value. Heat will just be passed through to the surface underneath. Your stove manual will call out what value is needed. Your inspecting authority will go by that listed value if he is doing his job correctly & not just rubber stamping.

P.S. I temporarily put not quite seasoned wood on the hearth in front of my stove. Can't leave it there to long as it gets to hot.

No unfortunately I'm not. Always looking for a deal on one though.....

You need a certain thickness of noncombustable materials between the stove and combustables. Put down your durock and then ceramic tile and you should be okay. You shouldn't put ceramic directly on plywood anyways.

I did say things the way , I made a hearth out of 2x4 and put the durock on the top and sides. Then tiled the hearth and back walls. My stove is in a corner. I am not saying that a lopi is the best but this one has side plates on both sides and the back you put close to the wall. the top and face is were all of the heat is. clint
