The sunroom I'm enclosing has a poured slab floor that slopes away from the house at about 1" every 5 feet. I am going to install the 17-VL out there so that the width of the stove goes down the slope. Rather than build something level out of wood and then have to worry about getting the R values right for the hearth, I am thinking of using 2 bolts, washers, and nuts through the shipping holes on the downhill side of the base of the stove to level it up. Other than a gap between the bottom of the stove and the concrete floor, do you see any issues with this?
The hardware would be pretty stout (looks like 3/8" or 1/2" might fit through there without modification), and I could cut and drill a piece of steel bar to support the floor of the stove on the end where the bolts would be. The bolt heads would be the feet of the levellers.
