Hi Kelly! Not sure why you were unable to remove the stove?!? Can it be lifted to put a heat resistant slate tile hearth below it?
If you are not wanting to use it any more what I did with mine , I put 3 pieces of real wood sticks in it and then partially buried some auto 6 hr on and off battery candles in it. I did this around Thanksgiving and it lasted til sometime in January and gave us a nice feel and we love that it wasn't just setting there doing nothing.
I made a 2 inch box around the bottom of mine and added some pinecones and a little fake ivy to it just to soften it up.
I very much need to use this gas stove. Thanks Bessie. I like your box idea. perhaps I'll do a seasonal box. beachy in the summer and pine cones in the winter.
I think jacks could have been used to move it up by a quarter of an inch to slide the tiles under. No need to move it out of the way, just up.
Would it have been possible to temporarily remove a section of the stovepipe and then move the stove to lay in the flooring? This can still be done. The piping isn't installed as being permanent since it gets replaced over time.
Do the feet get hot?
I’m wondering if you could pour resin around the feet as fill in.
Can you cut a bit of stove pipe at the top to raise it up and then piece the flooring back in?
No , the feet do not get hot. Unfortunately the owner who originally had it installed allowed it to be permanently adhered to the floor and the one piece pipe has some kind of adhesive to the stove and ceiling. It will quite a mess to move it, then to fix it. ( my lighting fixtures in the house were similar- some DIY are not so great), this is why the floor installation had this outcome.
I was thinking of something on top of the floor like a disc per foot or a solid skirting or the box idea is a good one.
