I have a couple questions; does anyone use a thermometer on their ZC fireplace somehow? Has anyone figured an effective way to add some moisture to the house other than a humidifier? I also placed the Z42 on NCFS board and according to the MSDS sheet this looks like a problem. Any ideas?
Questions on ZC fireplace?

I use a cheapy Rutland magnet thermometer on my North Star fireplace. I removed the entire faceplate and place thermo on the steel chimney pipe collar exiting the firebox. Works perfect.
Can't answer to your other questions. Sorry...

What is NCFS board? What does the stove documentation state as a hearth requirement for the fireplace?

Yes. Seal up any air leaks in the house. The cold air coming in from outside contains less humidity than the warm air in the house.
We live in a colder drier climate, and our house almost has too much humidity.
Also whenever convienient, leave the bathroom door open when you shower, that'll bump the humidity up a few notches.
Buy a hygrometer and monitor humidity levels. You'll notice humidity go UP everytime you add/repair weatherstripping.
