Interesting question, I'll be watching the answers to this one .
Maybe some old MPD's that the springs rusted out of

I used short lengths of 2 1/4" black pipe on end as spacers to get the stove off the floor and as a way to level the stove. I wound up using four ~2" sections to get my flue pipe to line up. If you are worried about rust you could go galvanized - or perhaps somewhat easy to obtain SS exhaust pipe. I have found short lengths of SS pipe at a pressure washer supply company as well, don't know how large in diameter they go though.

A piece of concrete board or patio blocks?
My Hyfire is quite tall, I just sat it on the floor of the basement, it is really dry plus I run a dehumidifier in the summer to keep the dampness out...

I was thinking something like Hardibacker http://www.jameshardie.com/homeowner/backerboard.shtmlWNY wrote:A piece of concrete board or patio blocks?

Maybe a piece of stainless sheet or galvanized sheet? Galvinized rectangular pipe? Bricks? Rocks?

I thought so as well. I guess I was wrong, Alaska Channings list legs as optional equipment. My dealer orders all his with the LEGS option already attached so it wasn't an issue when I decided on my brand/model and what dealer to go with.gambler wrote:My stove has a piece of steel channel welded to the bottom on each side. I thought that all stoves had some sort of legs to keep the bottom of the stove up off of the floor.
I placed my stove on ceramic tile 12" squares (5/16 thick) , picked up a box at HD for $10.....couldn't go wrong.

I welded 1" round stock in the corners . The manual says to just put small pieces of 1/4 metal in the corners just for a airgap . Dave
