I'm putting up a temp hearth that will be torn down in summer and some fancy brick will be built
For now the floor hearth is 3 inch stone, no hear even goes to the bottom so overkill.
The walls are about 24 inches away in all directions (wood walls, not drywall) and get really hot when stove fired up( can barely hold hand on wall) question is can I just put durock on the wall section of hearth for now or do I have to go through the trouble of tiling on top, really don't want to cause I'm just going to rip it town in summer
Thanks for any input
