So i just bought a p43 and decided to build my own hearth to save some money. I was advised by the stove shop i bought my stove from that some durock and tile would be fine. After installing the stove i found this site and have seen all of these hearth threads started here lately. I wanted to get your guys opinion on my hearth. It is on a hardwood floor and framed out with one by fours. I left gaps between them to give an air gap. on top of that i put 1/2 inch durock and topped with tile. In total it is about an inch and 3/4 thick I do see what you guys are talking about with the bottom of the stove getting hot however i can get to the underside of the floor in the basement and have not noticed abnormal heat transfering through. What do you guys think.
