Hello to all you fine folks! What a great site!
In the search for a more efficient stove for my work shop I found this place and I love it. Thanks to the folks that helped me decide to buy a Englander 30HC, it really fits my budget for a no frills stove. BTW, anyone looking right now, one can be had for $650, plus $99 S&H, plus sales tax from Home Depot. Just go to the Johnson City, Tn store and check out there and it will be shipped to you in your state. It is being shipped to me in Georgia and I will be receiving it Wednesday this week.
I'm getting everything ready and would like to put it on a raised hearth. I read a thread about hearths, folks were showing off some pretty impressive work, but the one that caught my eye for my application was one that the builder dry stacked two courses of 8" block , then capped that with 2" paving stones. That would make the top of the hearth about 18" high.
Is that too high? (sorry it took so long to ask such a short question.)
