Just picked up a new hearthstone shelburne Saturday. It was a floor model from last year, so I feel as though I got a good deal on the stove. I plan on making this a hearth stove. I need to extend the hearth about a foot to meet the requirements for space in front of stove. My questions are as follows...
1. Do I need to blanket the liner? It is a 17 foot run. Chimney is newer and runs through the insulated garage. I believe it is a 8 x 8 terra cota flue.
2. I am not sure how a 6 inch liner will fit through the existing fireplace flue...Look at the pic and it is only about 5 inches
3. Do I need a block off plate? Should I insulate above the plate, and if so what should I use?
4. Can I run a black pipe to the "t" for the liner? Does it matter if it is single wall? I don't have clearance issues as it will be in the fireplace.
I also included some pics of a monster tulip poplar taken down in front of my house. The base was rotting and being outside my son's window didn't make me feel comfortable. The base was 4 feet in diameter. The tree was about 100 feet high and I keep all the wood except for the trunk.
