Hello,
I am planning to install the Jotul F 445 Holliday and am having trouble designing the hearth. In the installation manual it says that the minimum hearth dimensions are 33"W x 40"D:
However, the stove dimensions are 26 1/4" W x 25" D:
1. If you add 6" to each side of the 26 1/4" W stove, you get 38 1/4". How did they get 33"?
2. Doesn't the hearth pad need to extend to the back wall? If the stove has to be a minimum of 6" in front of the back wall (assuming minimum clearance to combustibles based on using double walled stove pipe and a rear heat shield) wouldn't the hearth need to be 6" + 25" + 16", or 47" deep ?
I had purchased a stove board which is 32"x42" but I'm realizing it's probably not big enough.
Thanks so much for any help you can provide.
