1. Place your stove where you would like it located and use a plumb line to mark the ceiling
directly above your stove flue. You will probably have to adjust this position slightly to ensure that
your chimney will run between the joists. You can use a stud finder to locate the joists. You also need
to take into account the minimum clearances to combustible materials. After you have determined
where the chimney will go through the ceiling, use a spoke saw or power jig saw to cut a hole,
remembering that you need a minimum 2-inch clearance between the chimney and any combustible
materials. Depending on whether you have a one or two story structure, you will need to cut a
matching hole through the floor of the attic or second floor living space.
2. Before you install the ceiling support, you need to frame the area.
3. To install the ceiling support, just slide the assembly into the framed opening from below. Once
you ensure that the finishing plate is flush with the underside of the ceiling and assembly is level,
secure it with screws.
