Enclosing the platform?

Hi Guys,

What product do you recommend for enclosing the space under the platform? The air space ranges from 2 ft to 5 ft at different places around our platform.

I've got some free time since I quit my job today. It ended in a interview with HR that may get me another job. The world works in mysterious ways.

Chimney

Ours came to $900 with the extra pipe. I have run the stove pretty hard for two days. Both to keep warm and to learn how it behaves, since we have never used one before, and I see no ash build up on...

Pump

Gundfos SQ soft-starting 0.5 horsepower, and runs on a 115 Volt 20 amp circuit.
