wood stove intallation

[dinobeads]

Looking for weight dispersing iron pucks/coasters for the feet of my wood stove. Cant seem to find any online. don't know if I am using the wrong terminology. Please point me in the right direction or send a link to some I can purchase.

What is the concern? The hearth should be strong enough to take the weight. Maybe just have some 3" squares of 3/16" steel cut up? Or pickup some stainless coasters? http://www.wayfair.com/Thirstystone-7-Piece-Stainless-Steel-Round-Coasters-N092-THST2555.html
Here's an old thread on the topic. You might find some at an antique stove shop?

The concern is cracked tiles. The tiles under each foot have cracked. We had them all replaced and it happened again. We are having them replaced a second time and likely having more supports put under the hearth but I will be out of matching tiles after this and don't want it to happen again. The tiler suggested putting foot pucks under to disperse the wieght a bit. we have a heavy stove, over 500 lbs.
The wayfair coasters look like they might work nicely. Thanks for the link.

Sounds like a flawed hearth installation. The substrate under the tiles is wrong or poorly supported. A well made hearth should easily support a 500# stove. Our stove is 585# and there have been no issues in the last 8 yrs.
