Hello... I have a Hearthstone Homestead that I believe is ready for action. Let me know if I'm missing something here... installed liner and put on cap (siliconed to clay tile at chimney top); removed damper and made plate to seal around liner; installed plate and siliconed edges, and furnace cemented around liner; 3 screws and furnace cement around all seams (oval to round piece, to elbow, to forever flex quick connect with strap band, to liner) except for the one connecting liner to strap band (for easy clean out). Am I ready?
Ready to burn final check

You forgot the wood, firestarter and matches!
Oh, a lighter will do also!
Sounds like it is ready for takeoff - get ready for that "burning off paint" smell.

I used the elbow because it allowed the stove to go farther into the fireplace (hearthmount). The "T" and the bent flex pipe options kept my stove out too far. The other oval to round adapter (for a straight up connection) had the stove in too far. ONE FINAL QUESTION... should I furnace cement the first connection: back of the stove to oval to round adapter? Thanks!
