Hello friends.
I have a ceiling support box that came with my stove when I bought it used. Everything is in the kit. Previous owners had planned on installing the stove with a through the ceiling set up but never did and sold me the stove with the kit. (Pic of the support kit below ). The paper manual is useless and I cannot find anything online on where the support RING is supposed to go or where I attach the box to rafters. I’m including a sketch on where I’m “assuming” how it should be set up and need your help.
Ring question. Does the silver ring go around the bottom of the class A pipe to provide a lip for the weight of the chimney to rest on while it’s in the box? Red circle for reference.
Screw question. Do I screw through the steel box into rafters (or whatever framing I may have to do) red circle for reference.
