Is it okay to sit a wood stove on a fireplace hearth? Can the hearth do okay with the heat? What about the wood under the hearth?
I have a open masonry fireplace, fire brick inside the box, and a regular brick hearth extending 20" out. I want to sit a wood stove on the 20" hearth part, run stove pipe up the chimney and then extend the hearth. House built in 1994.
