Pulled my ZC out today and now working on hearth. I am going to extend the hearth all the way back to the wall but I am concerned with the safety of the existing half. It is 2" blue stone slab sitting on top of 1/2" plywood and ontop of 2x4 framing. The inside is a hollow box. About 1/2 of my jotul f400 will be sitting on this area. I feel I should be pulling off the slab and putting a layer of DuRock where the plywood is but that 2" stone has decent r value
