I’m a new member who has been educating myself on wood stoves and what’s the right way to do things. I finally made my decision to rip out our factory fireplace and install a free Standing wood stove. The stove pipe was run up the existing factory fireplace chase by the company that I purchased the stove from. They will also be installing a new custom chase cover. My responsibility is to remove the old brick hearth and prepare a new pad that needs to be a minimum 40”” x 50”. My wife and I like natural slate but my concern is the stove my not seat level due to the inconsistencies of natural slate. Any thoughts would be appreciated
