I got a stove installed. It is 30" from the top to the bottom of the wood mantle. Also the face is 10" to the wood floor.
The installer said no worries about being combustible but you would want a hearth extension pad to protect the floor.
I burned last night and the temp of the floor and mantle got to 100 degrees F.
So I am just confirming I do not need a heat shield for the mantle - sound right?
And
I need an extension pad for the floor. BUT not really to protect it from being combustible? but for protection from wood, spark etc.
Just trying to get some verification here.
Thanks!
