This was from another thread I decided to start another one on topic.

Thanks Green! I didnt see that in the manual. I was reading it quickly. I dint have a paper copy on the online one and must have scrolled through it too quick!
I guess that answers my question about the durok under the hearth. I wonder if one course is good enough?[/quote]
No, read above. We cross-posted.
page 7 of the docs covers this. For a more detailed explanation this article is a must read:

thanks begreen, most helpful! Does anyone have a link to a list of thermal R values on different materials? I could not find one on Granite anywhere, thanks for listing it Begreen.
I checked that article. It makes me want to rip my wall apart and look at the thimble... Not sure when the chimney was built or installed.
This is the current temp install of our trailblazer stove going on one month. The 30 should go in next week.

When examining the thimble I pushed some of the joint compound that was in the join back into the space between the wall to expose the side of the thimble.
Its a 2" thick tube surounded by a metal jacket that apears to be able 3/16ths of an inch thick.

Should I check the rest of the wall around it? I mean like cut the drywall away and check everything...?

The flue to ceiling clearance depends on the connector pipe. A minimum of 18" is required for single-wall, 6" for double-wall, but there's no harm in exceeding the requirement.
I've got plenty of space around the thimble. But what I meant is the sheetrock directly around the thimble.. does it need to be protected?
