Ok, so im getting ready to mortar my tilesfor my hearth pad...but I am installiong an OAK. The manual shows both the down and out way and the horizontal way. Is cutting a hole in hearth pad ok? I thought the hearth pad would need to be continuous? Is there a chance that embers could go down into my OAK opening? Should i just keep hearth pad solid ( not drill or cut a hole in it) and just run the OAK out the back wall horizontizally and then outside?
I guess the short version of what im asking is...Is it safeto have a hole in the middle of my hearth pad for my OAK?

Interesting thought!
I'd say that in principle if the OAK pipe is metal, there's no issue as the ember protection will be continuous.
