DIY Hearth pad, Wall Protection, and Clearance 

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Especially appreciated learning about concealed damage and how ignition points get lowered as combustibles dry out.

This is the clearest info on this subject matter on RU-vid, thanks!! Very helpful :)

Super useful video. I'm a chimney sweep and was trying to explain this to a customer recently, and you do a much better job, lol. I'll start sharing this video with clients.

I have come back and watched this man quite a few times. Really wish you did more videos. Thank you

Yes, unfortunately the sound volume is low!..

"the more heat gets radiated down" - fascinating. Hence the ceramic fiber board baffles on top.

Congratulations! Excellent video! THANK YOU!..

Great video but I was waiting for you to talk about how to DIY a hearth pad.. .

Thank you !!! This was so helpful!! Great explanation!!

The volume is so bad on this video I couldn't even hear it.

Thankyou! Verrry informative and told me just about everything I was wondering about installing my hearth in my she-shed :)

Thats why its best to water your floor and walls once a year.

Very informative video. Great job!

Excellent video thank you for sharing this ☺️

Extremely helpful, thanks pal 👍

Thanks, Great video, very informative.

So to sum up- follow the manufacture recommendations on the back

Thank you for the helpful info!

I got 120 year old caboose stove, I don't think an owners manual came with it Lol

Why isn't the questions being answered!?

Is the hearth pad necessary on top of a concrete floor?

Do you still need a Hearth pad if the stove is sitting on a concrete slab

What would be the minimum clearance to non-combustible walls?

Can the hearth pad touch the back wall or should there be a gap?

What type of heat shield would you recommend for an antique wood cook stove, with 12" legs? We are planning a 1/2" durock heatshield with 1" air gap between another 1/2" durock on studs for wall. And 1" thick durock platform(2, 1/2" durock as hearth pad with tile on top. Would this be sufficient? .. The floor under the tile and durock is wood.Thanks

What type of stove is that

If only there was some sort of electrical device that could capture his voice ... so I could hear his good advice. Lip reading isn't helping he keeps turning his head.

Couldn’t hear. Frustrating

What?? What did you say?? 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Speak up, please.

Didn’t give clearances ,I don’t think he likes wood stoves, no solutions!
