I need help with my hearth.

[Spoon]

I have searched he forum and reviewed the gallery pics, but I find very few that meet my specific needs. My freestanding stove will be against the wall in my family room (not a corner install). I will have the chimney going straight up through the ceiling. I would appreciate any pics showing your hearth to give me ideas. Thanks.

which stove do you have? this is the most importand determing factor... do you plan on using double wall pipe? heatshields for the stove? a little more info, maybe a pic is needed.. but as a general rule: 18" from load doors and @ least 6-8" of floor pad off each leg or corner of the stove...

There are many hearth pictures in the Perfect Picture forum here. Just search for hearth.
