Beautiful hearth Waltdog! Quite impressive.
Do you need wall protection behind the stove/stovepipe? What is planned (material wise)?
I am curious if you might have tried using some of the 3M fire sealant for your assembly adhesive? Has anyone here ever tried this?
Cheers!
No rear protection is required, all clearances have been met plus a bit. The Rangely features a rear heat shield in conjunction with Double wall pipe/ appliance connector it brings the rear clearance pretty tight.
