leveling a wood stove on stone

Small steel shims should do the trick.

My dad and brother used coins.. they vary in thickness.. We didn't need to level.

The guys who installed my Castine noticed the slightest wobble....a single penny under the rear left leg fixed it...can't even tell it's there!

I used washers to level mine from fireplace floor to hearth.

Washer all the way. Paint them to match the legs - depending on the foot print of the leg, you can cut them in half to hide them even more.

I noticed while moving the 1100C to clean it that the legs were loose (probably shipped that way). After I tightened them I had a big wobble, like 1/4" or more. (Some or most of that was probably the tile floor, not the stove.) I took some flashing and bent it in half repeatedly until I had a thick wedge. Then I lowered the stove down on it, compressing the folds. That seemed to work as an auto-adjusting shim.

My Lopi Liberty does have adjustable feet (nice feature quickly forgotten) but the old one, which sat on a slate hearth, was shimmed with a leftover piece of the slate.

+1 for the coins. Small flat washers will also do the trick...
