Hello,
I am in the process of finishing my hearth that I built for my wood burning stove. Actually it's a parlor style potbelly stove that stands about 40" high. So I used steel beams and durock as my platform. Now I am working with my stone and joint compound to finish up the hearth portion. My stove placement and materials will be compliant with code. I will then be ready to punch the pipe through. I have researched the various kits available and the cost of the steel chimney pipe for outside.
I really wanted someone to come and take a look at my setup and tell me what I need but the local stove guys do not want to work with me because I didn't buy the stove from them. I am not able to find anyone in my area who would be willing to help with an installation of the interior and exterior portion of the job and give me a receipt for the work. My wife knows that I am probably capable of doing most of this work myself but would feel better if a professional did the install instead.
Ed's Woodshed and Ferguson's are my local guys. Ed's responded with too many variables for him to install. Ferguson's has not responded.
Any suggestions? I am located in Gibsonia, PA and options are limited. Who is the right tradesperson to contact? A contractor, etc.?
What have you guys done??
