Who installed a wood stove on his hearth and exhausted through the existing fireplace. How did you hold the Micore300 to block off the damper opening around the liner?

Looks like dmack may have left the building ... not been here for about a year. Still have the photos to guide you through the process and I'm sure others with similar installs will part with tips ... Be patient!
Thank you already got an idea! Now I have to talk my helpers into this project. The fireplace is definitely not the answer, and have a little wood stove that might work! And I am determined - yet patient - till it gets below 10.
Honestly Micore would not be my choice for a block off plate anyway. Sheet metal is easier to work with in my opinion.
It looks like dmack may have cut the micore large so that it rests on the damper frame as support.
It also appears that "dmack" didn't use a Tee that goes with his liner system. Not recommended or suggested...
I prefer to use a piece of sheet metal with a layer of mineral wool insulation on top of it. Then paint it all black once it's installed. In a tall fireplace it looks best if you use a piece of rigid stainless liner to come through the block off plate. Once it's painted it will just look like traditional stove pipe. It's a very clean look.
