Do I need a hearth pad?

Question:  Do Comfortbilt pellet stoves require floor protection?  Does it need to sit on a hearth pad?

Answer:  A hearth pad is not always necessary.  As long as the stove sits on a noncombustible surface that meets the front and side clearances, this will satisfy the floor protection requirements.    You can find all of the floor protection requirements on pg. 9 of the online Operator's Manuals, found here:  https://comfortbilt.net/pages/stove-manuals

A hearth pad is an easy and convenient way to satisfy floor protection requirements however.  https://www.comfortbilt.net/hearth-pads/
