i remember a while ago I saw a post about someone flipping the flue adapter on their ideal steel to get more clearance. Does anybody have the measurement on the lowest setting? My lintel is 28” and I’m trying to figure out if this stove will work with a hearth pad

Thanks
 
According to the manual, it's 27.5"

Interesting picture. In the Approvals Dimensions and Specs section of the manual on their website it shows that piece flipped the other way with the same measurements. I could swear I saw someone say they flipped it and gained an inch or two.

Call Woodstock on Monday. They should be able to clarify.
