My stove like that has sat on a plywood floor for the past 20 yrs and i never had problems.
20 years? It's probably bout ready to fire up then!
The issue here is that its a zero tolerance situation.
The only way that you know there is a problem is after your house is on fire! !!!

Been a member for a while but dont post to often due to my short burn season and my Fireview is a dream to operate, dont really have any issues at home. So here I'm on vacation in Tennessee and the cabin were in has a woodstove so Im really excited about firing it up, but I'm getting alot of smoke intrusion in the cabin with this setup, I've adjusted the dampers trying to correct this with no success. Im beginning to think its just a poor install. I've posted some pics to see what you guys think,thanks.

I have this exact little stove sitting outside in front of my shop (as a rustic decoration). Anybody know what kind of stove it is?
 
mine was made by Atlanta Stove Works. Im replacing it this summer with a vogelzang defender so i intend to build some type hearth and shield the back wall.
 
This worked fine for 40+ years. And then...

I felt underneath the stove many times, it just doesnt get that hot under there, maybe cause i leave a bed of 2" ashes. All i know is its a good place to dry shoes
