Do you guys think its a wise choice to install an OAK while i havnt stoned the back wall yet? I dont have any issues with out one. I thought i read somewhere it can back puff hot ash into the tube and cause a fire! Would there be any neg to it at all? Just straight out the back wall maybe as high as i can get it with out me seeing it from the front?
Well with time comes beauty! Was able to finally finish the hearth up b4 this burn season. I love how it turned out, ended up using 6x24"quartz ledgestone panels from homedepot! Good stuff highly recommend it! Set a row of tile in front for something a little different and a tad more protection!

What did you use to make the mantle? I am installing a very similar design. I am also installing the ledgestone from HD. I am looking for a mantle similar to yours. Is it just bluestone?

Yup just bluestone, the brackets have 3/8" holes drilled into the back and 3/8" anchors in wall with epoxy made for this app. I threw cats up b4 durarock so i didnt have to find a beam.
One piece and around 400lbs! Good thing this is all on a slab!
Thanks guys for all the kind words!
