Can someone clarify for me whether 3 screws per connection is in the code or whether it is just a smart thing to do?
If it is code, where will I find it in the code?

Jags, you had the floor collaps out from under your stove? Was it hot at the time?

No-no. At the very beginning of my current stove, I was having a pressure inversion problem (since cured by adding a 2ft section of pipe). On rare occasion I was having difficulty in getting the stove lit - so I did the same thing every genius would do, and opened the ash pan door for some more air. Flames improved, started to light good, closed door, air inversion (stack not hot enough) and BOOM, flash back. Thought it was gonna blow the damn stove into the basement.
That is why you will see me advocate NO ASH PAN DOOR FOR STARTUP and MAKE THE INSTALL AS SAFE AND SOUND AS REASONABLY POSSIBLE. Sorry for the yelling but I want that message to stand out.
