New Harman P43 on its way plus DIY stove pad

[Jeffs613]

Hey Everyone,
I'm new to the forum but I've been lurking for a couple months now. Anyway just thought I'd introduce myself, share my DIY stove pad and get some feedback. As for the Harman P43 I'll be doing a self install with selkirk out at up 4 feet vent. Any install tips would be appreciated. An OAK is part of the plan but I have not purchased one yet. Any recommendations?

Thanks.

Pad looks good. If you put a piece of loop carpet upside down under it you should be able to move the stove around easily for when you want to service without being a contortionist.

Thanks, I ended up putting those small 1 inch or so felt pads about every 6 inches under the pad, its fairly easy to move now but I'm not so sure how easy it will be with the stove on it.

You add 300 plus pounds on and things will change. Carpet idea was mentioned by another member just recently. I have to make a hearth for the Elena with burning season probably only a month away.
