I bought an old Alaskan Kodiak that came with a surround but no way to attach it to the stove. I thought I could use hex head sheetrock screws but I can't find any big enough to work. Any suggestions?
TIA!

Not sure if you can see by the photo but the screws are not in there properly. The only way they grabbed at all is because the flange and the surround are not lined up perfectly thus creating a smaller hole. I used the word "thus" ... what a tool
I do not have it sealed anywhere but the surround. The person who inspected my chimney said to just pack it around the surround with 4" strips of insulation...which I did.

Go to a real hardware store like Ace / True Value / Hardware Hank / etc... and you can probably find something that would work. Whenever I cant find a screw or bolt at Home Depot I go down the street to True Value and one of the guys there usually finds it for me, better service and better selection for hand tools and screws / bolts.
