Hello,
I made some progress on my grandma bear project. Definitely behind schedule though.
Originally my stove had a rear 8" flue that I had cut out and blocked off. I had the welder install a 6" top flue and it came out great. I refinished the stove. Sanded it down and gave it a nice clean fresh coat of stove bright paint. It really looks nice.
I now have the stove in my living room and I decided where I want it to live.
I have all the information on the chimney components, i just need to order it all. I will be using Duravent DVL with the through the ceiling kit and then from northland express.

OK, so my next step here is making a hearth pad and back shield. I plan on using coultured stone on the back and slate type of tile on the base. I'm going to build my base using 2x4's, durock on top then tile. Do I need to double or triple the durock for the base? Sheet metal?
For the behind heat shield, I'm not sure exactly how to go about this part... I have 1" ceramic spacers. . Do I need multiple layers of durock? Sheetmetal?
Will I need to remove the sheetrock from the wall and install durock in its place? and then build my heat shield 1" away from it?
I do have an electrical outlet where the heat shield will go. Do i need to remove it?
My stove measures 25 1/2" wide X 24" deep
What should I keep my clearances at? I will be using the telescoping DVL pipe up to the ceiling.. How wide should I build this hearth? How high? How far from wall?
Any information and help with this is greatly appreciated.
Thank you all in advance
Tim
