The illustration shows a short-legged wood stove supported on two layers of cored masonry over a noncombustible hearth pad. An enlarged detail specifies cored block or brick, with the cores in the lower row oriented 90° to those in the upper row and free airflow through each layer. A 3-1/2-inch dimension is indicated at the masonry layers. The hearth pad extends beyond the masonry base, with an 18-inch dimension at the loading-door end and 8-inch dimensions at the side and rear. A metal stovepipe rises from the stove and bends toward the upper right.
