I don't think that's a big deal to cut a hole higher on the hearth and plug the existing hole. I seem to remember this issue coming up over the years and it not being an big expense.
I wouldn't lower the IS, I asked them if they could cut a hole to lower it 1/2 inch to fit my hearth and they wouldn't do it or recommend it.

Happy owner of a Woodstock progress hybrid here.. uses half the wood per year than my old Jotul combi-fire
You might want to check with Woodstock on short legs for the ideal steel. I know they offer them for the PH

How come you can say that about a Jotul and get away with it? I never can. And yes my Progress burned less than half of the wood the Oslo used to burn - this during last season which was quite long and cold. House was much warmer. Now I will wait for the comments on how I didn't know how to operate the Jotul...
1) because it's true I went from ~4 chords/ year to about ~2
2) because I've been keeping track of the wood I burn each year (since ~1984)
I loved the Jotul, it looked like an Easter island head, but it was a leaky beast. Towards the end the door would not stay shut, and I'd have to wrap a chain around it to keep it closed. That's when my wife suggested a new stove. The married men on the forum will understand there are all sorts of intensities the word suggest can entail
You could tell the difference other ways. The Jotul would always outgas the stove pipe leading to the double wall insulated steel chimney, this did not happen with the PH. Also, you could not touch the steel chimney with your hand when the Jotul was burning, it lost that much up the chimney. With the PH, it's just warm to the touch

Wow,you really lay it on the line! Isn't the Progress amazing? I stare at the lazy blue orange flames for hours and wonder what mind created this. Of all the stoves I've owned, never have I seen wood gas have combustion like this. Turns out, as I discussed with the Woodstock owner at the owners picnic last fall, it is an associate who is responsible and designs all kinds of things around flow. be it water, air, or blood. It's all about air flow within the chambers. Woodstock has loftier goals, the Absolute is one of them.
The Combifires were pre-EPA. Though good heaters, they ate fuel hungrily. A leaky one even more so. To objectify, an additional helpful comparison would be going from the Combifire to an Oslo. That too would have resulted in a significant wood savings as most note when going to a modern EPA stove.
