I thought you had a similar passive vent system in your hearth?That looks nothing like my FP set up, which we have talked about.
Glad you posted this.
I think, in the end, you will be safer.
Thanks Gabe!! I have poured over these messages here for more hours than I will admit... I did not see that one!Read this...

My stove is the Montpelier. Another user found in the manual that the vents should not be blocked.

The grates (or lack there of) havent been an issue. I saved the old grates incase they could be reused, some how.
Watch out Dixie, I may need advice on that soon! Your new hearth is beautiful.If you opt to tile or do anything with the face of the FP, do it after the insert is installed. Ask me how I know this![]()
I can't help myself but to ask, how do you know?Ask me how I know this
