I don't understand how anyone can advertise polyester, olefin or wool as a hearth rug. Surely these melt and smell horrible when they get burned?

They are fire resistant as they claim but not fire proof and yes many can melt. But yes they are bogus I have seen many that people tried to use as a hearth extension.
Agreed. There are some fiberglass hearth rugs that may work for ember protection but even they will not be effective if they are loose and allowed to shift away from the fireplace or stove hearth.

That is the first listing that comes up but there are many.
Did you ever get your stove running right or are you still loading one piece at a time?
I thought maybe y'all knew better than Google. Stove is idle this week - it's been very mild here in Georgia.
Since the ember-on-the-oriental-rug incident, I got a fiberglass hearth rug. It's a not so great looking solid beige, so I put a dark patterned poly rug over it. I actually screwed down the fiberglass rug to the wood floor since it has a tendency to move.
