Pedestal on Century hearth 1000

[Taylor]

I also have a Century Hearth 1000.

I wonder what you all think about my cutting the pedestal off the stove so I can set it in my fireplace. If I do that I can run a stainless flue straight up my existing chimney.

My fireplace is steel lined. It is solid stone built in 1966 with the cabin. It has a damper.
Cabin is 950 sq. ft.
I’ll give more infor and a photo if you would like.
God Bless, Taylor

If I recall that stove, you need the steel base as protection against heat. You might get away with it but that type of modification would most likely negate the UL certification.
Your best bet would be to actually call the customer service number at the stove company and ask about this.
