My parents just had a Jotul C450 installed in their masonry fireplace. The whole wall and hearth is brick, but the hearth seems to be out of level with the horizontal bricks on the wall. Because of this, the top edge of the surround does not run even with the mortar line of the horizontal brick so it looks kind of goofy. I am wondering if we can shim the stove a little to even out the gap of the surround and mortar line.
Is the stove just sitting in the fireplace or is it fastened in? I am wondering if we could just jack one side of the front part of the stove an install a shim. Thanks.
