That is really good information. I had no idea they had something like that at Lowes. Question, does the stove crush it at all? I'm wondering how well the inner foam core stands up to the weight.

I spoke to Wilson and he has a stove ready to go. He was really helpful and I feel bad not buying his, but I went with the Stove Hospital because those guys helped me out over the phone a lot over the years when I got my first stove locally. I didn't even buy one from them and they helped me. Maybe that's silly, but I felt I should buy from them.

Doesn't surprise me Wilson has a #6 ready. He has very good luck at finding them. The other two stove shops near him often call him when they get an order of a #6. So, indirectly, you might be getting a stove from him ?

No, the stove feet don't dent that hearth board. It's made to be used under, as well as behind stoves. The sheet metal covering has a dense fire-proof board sandwiched inside it.

It's only about a half inch thick, with tapered edges less likely to trip over, so no need to step up onto a "hearth" to work the stove.

Sounds like exactly what I need. Thank you.
