I have a zero clearance fireplace with no insert and no hearth. I am planning on installing a pellet stove insert into this fireplace. The insert clearances to combustibles meet or exceed all of the manufacturers specifications. The dealer will also do the installation. However, there is presently no hearth, only 3/4″ plywood subflooring. I am planing on constructing a tile hearth over Hardibacker Board which would extend clear back into the fireplace. Does anyone have any ideas or thoughts on how I can do this and if such a hearth construction is advisable.
