Thanx Cert! I ordered the blower and it is on backorder and will be added.. I look forward to testing this stove out and seeing the secondaries kick in! The stove should be inspected next week and I can burn it at that point.. I am pleased with the new look of the hearth tile and even happier that it handled the weight of the stove with no problem.. The hearth seems very sturdy and overall for something I have never done before feel it looks decent despite the flaws.. Amazingly the tile surrounding the stove on 3 sides is exactly 3 tiles which provides slightly over 18" and goes above code.. All the planning was worth it!
