On the ragged edge of not being able to use the ash pan with rear vent. Can someone provide me with an accurate measurements of the following from an Ideal Steel:
1. Distance from floor to top of stove pipe on a rear vent installation.
2. Distance from floor to lowest part of ash pan.
The company has been great in replying to my questions, but 1/4" could really make a difference here since my fireplace is only about 28 1/4" high and Woodstock says that 25.5" centerline is the lowest you can go with the ash pan. As you can see, I'm looking at 1/4" interference. I wouldn't be opposed to running the pipe downill 1/4" over the 18" or so of horizontal run since the flue draws very well with my current stove. I trust their info, but sometimes info gets rounded up or down for simplicity.
Thanks.
