I have upgraded and have been burning since mid october. I swept my liner and got maybe 3 cups of black flaky/dust...I was expecting more with the nature of how this stove burns. I was able to finally put my finishing touches and thought to post a picture of my setup. Hope the picture works!

Extending the hearth is on my to do list. The floor has never gotten too hot in front of the existing tile so I'm not sweating it, however I plan to extend anyhow.

Nice set up. Looks great. Nice room. I love the tile on the fireplace. You may want to consider extending the hearth.

Thanks dfk. The tile is new since the new stove and we are digging it too! Hearth will be addressed after this season. We needed the long burn upgrade and this is doing it just fine!
 
Insert looks great! Seeing your gate reminded me that our new kidco hearth gate can be opened by my 18 month old with just brute fat baby persuasion. Basically he grabs onto the handle and leans back and starts jerking and it will pop open. Kinda disappointing, I just zip tied and step over the gate now.
