Yea.....probably will. Can't let 1/2" scare me away. I think I can make it work.So you going to pull the trigger? Right now looks to be the highest discount of the season. Couldn't you chisel away some brick to make room for the pipe. Definitely need the ashpan, I may need to get an ideal steel I'm tired of the tv room being covered in a light layer of ash.
A quick look at their website shows the ASH flue centerline at 28.25" vs the ISH at 24.5-29.5". I'm not sure if the ASH specs are set in stone yet or not.If you don't need the large firebox the absolute looks lower not sure on the specs.
Short-leg kit, minus 2", 26.25. I need an additional inch to get under my lintel at 28.5". Then I might have to remove or alter some hearth tiles to get the ash door open. If I decide to pull the trigger, I will make it work.A quick look at their website shows the ASH flue centerline at 28.25"
Whoa, hold on there Pahdnah! I'm not givin' up the grate! I can't....I won't!Worst case: I can cover the grate with metal and fire bricks
I don't like the idea either, but it would still allow me to take advantage of all the other "add-ons" that Woodstock has in the sale package right now. If I order without the pan, it becomes an a la carte production order. They told me they had the full package on sale....no substitutions or removing options. I think they are making room for the new model production line.Whoa, hold on there Pahdnah! I'm not givin' up the grate! I can't....I won't!
Yep. That's the plan. Easy stuff first. I'm going to install a Flex King HD smooth liner, and the chimney is about 23' high. It drafts like crazy now, so I only expect improvement with the liner. I'm hoping a slight downhill run won't hurt anything......we'll see.Good catch there JA, if the legs are modified the 'fenders' that go over must be too. But they are not simple holes and bolts, they have a little hanger tabs that go into notches cut at the same intervals. Would probably be simpler just to trim off the bottom by a half inch or whatever you need, but unlike adding a set of holes to the legs, there is no going back after that mod. But I would not recommend drilling new holes either - they look to be 3/8" holes with only 5/8" between. If you cut a new hole perfectly centered, that is only 1/8" of material left around the holes. I'd probably see what you can get away with the ash pan not opening all the way (and maybe modding the handle), and seeing if it would draft ok at a slight decline if it were me, and then resorting to trimming the legs and fenders as a last step.

Isn't the HD the newer single wall with a more robust design?Several here will tell you to avoid the two-ply smooth-wall liners...

Great! Glad to hear it's working well. Are you saying that the flue collar piece can be mounted it two different positions, resulting in two different exit heights when rear-vented? I wonder if the same applies to the AS?However, putting the exhaust stack on upside down actually lowers it an additional inch +/-. The result is the TOP of the outlet pipe being around 27 3/4" from the floor. It worked on my 28" lintel with a 1/4" to spare. I was worried about draft initially, but the flow blew the flame sideways on a butane lighter on a 50 degree day.

Glad you went ahead with it, now I know it would have fit into my fireplace and I'm gonna give myself a good kick in the ass, I love my PH but would have preferred the IS.Well, now we know the answer. The stove was installed yesterday and is at the next to last height setting. The lowest setting would put the ash pan about 1/4" off of the floor, but the handle and hinge prevent the ash pan door from opening.

It didn't take long to figure out that this stove is a heating beast!
What liner did you end up with I hope the heavy wall?
