The installers put in the chimney...I will be building the hearth this weekend. It will consist of 3/16 plywood, 1/2 " durock nexgen and 1/4 ceramic tile on the floor and 1/2" durock nexgen and 1" rock tiles with a 1" air gap on the walls now according to the NAFP 211 that should reduce the clearance in back of the stove to 12" my stove came with a heat shield that allows 17 inches to a COMBUSTIBLE wall so with the wall protection and the heat shield I should be fine with that clearance and per my manual the stove requires a 3/8" protection on the floor so I should be be good to go .(..I am using stacked durock for the spacers on the wall)
