Most suggest installing above the lintel because most lintels are made out of 1/4" or larger angle iron. Not easy to just tap some screws in. As long as you cover the area and get a tight fit around, your fine where you want to put it. And looks like it will make it easier for you. Easier is better .udris said:Is there any advantage to installing the block off plate just above the lintel? My firebox has a perfect little notch all around exactly flush with the top. I could slide 3 edges of the block off plate into this notch and screw the front edge up into the lintel. I noticed that the block off plate designs on this site specify installing it a couple of inches higher. Is there a specific reason?
