    Hi All
    I want to install a free standing stove in front of the previously planned open fire place. I never installed the fire place when the house was been built. So as it stands it just an opening. If I put a stove on front of this obviously I will have an ugly open space behind the stove. Any suggestions on how to block this off keeping in mind I need to run the stove pipe up to the chimney. People have said in the past that if I build it up and plaster it will crack, If I use a metal plate it will warp with the heat from the flue... If I use granite it will crack etc etc

    We used a steel plate, Cut the diameter of the stove outlet and put that in the opening, Looked like it was supposed to be there.

    Great job & sealed the room

    how did you fix the steel plate to the wall? Did you paint it or anodize it?
