I just bought a Homestead (4 in. legs) and the installer said my hearth was fine for floor protection because it was a 'non combustible' floor. The hearth is Black shale stone on a bed of 8 in poured concrete. However I have a wooden joist running through it about 3-4 in. down.
I read in the manual about the floor protection requiring a 6.6 R value and am left scratching my head. All are telling me 'Ahh... your fine", but I want some advice from those who own the thing.
How hot does the homestead get underneath?
