Raising Height of Wood Stove w/ Platform?

[gumbo2go]

Has anyone raised the height of their wood stove by placing it onto a platform of some type? My VC Resolute seems pretty low to the ground which requires quite a bit of bending over to deal with loading wood.
thanks,
JJ

When I installed my stove I built a raised hearth for it to sit on. I framed with 2x6 with plywood and cement board and covered in rock.

I fabricated a stand for my shops’s VC encore out of pipe and c-channel, then spray painted it flat back. I was doing this to keep the firebox above code height for a shop, but it’s worked out great and has the firebox at a nice height.
