(1) How to adjust stove height:
The Ideal Steal Leg system has both a structural element as well as a customizable decorative outer fender. The
structural steel legs offer a total of 5” of height adjustment in 1” increments. The decorative fender is designed to match
the height of the legs once the desired height is set.
Please note: You cannot have an ash pan if you are setting the stove
at the lowest stove height of 30.5”.
To adjust the height of the stove you will need to first remove the
decorative leg fender. a means to lift and support the stove safely and a
9/16” wrench and 9/16” socket and ratchet.
1. First remove your decorative fenders. First lift up on the fender
assembly and then swing the bottom away from the stove to remove
the fender assembly from the body of the stove, repeat the process on
the other side.
1. Raise and support one side of the stove at a time to make height
adjustments. A small automotive or bottle jack may work to elevate
the stove but be sure to use safety supports as well. Do not rely on
the jack alone for support while working on the stove. Be aware of
the air control components located at the bottom left side of the stove
to avoid damage.
2. The steel legs are attached to the body of the stove with (3) 3/8” bolts, nuts, and lock washers. Use a 9/16” socket,
ratchet, and wrench to loosen and remove the hardware.
3. Move the steel legs to the desired height setting. Each row of holes is 1” apart. Insert the bolt from the outside and
through the corresponding hole in the stove body. Place a lock washer over the bolt and secure with a nut. Be sure
that the two outside bolts are positioned in the same row. Firmly tighten each bolt and nut.
4. Repeat this process on the opposite side.
5. Reinstall the fender assemblies. Align the bottom of the fender with the legs. Lift it slightly until the lower tabs
rest over the leg bracket. Rotate the top of the fender in toward the body of the stove to align the top tabs with the
slots in the body, and push the fender down to secure it.
2) How to attach the Ideal Steel Hybrid flue collar & cover plate:
The Ideal Steel is designed to be vented out the top or out the rear with an easily convertible flue collar and cover
plate. Each part is secure to the stove body with 4 bolts. You will need a
½
” wrench or socket and ratchet to install these
parts. The stove is shipped with the cover plate installed over the rear flue exit. The flue collar is packed inside the
firebox.
1. Decide which way you would like to vent your stove. This may be dependent on the location of an existing
chimney or the design of an existing hearth. Always pay close attention to required clearances when considering
stove placement
2. Install the flue collar in the desired location. Be sure that the gasket on it is secure and stays in place while
installing. Use four of the bolts to attach the flue collar to the stove body. The holes in the stove body are threaded
to accept the bolts. Alternate between the bolts while tightening to ensure even pressure. The bolts should be tight
enough to firmly compress the gasket. Do not over tighten.
3. Repeat the process to install the cover plate over the flue exit not being used.
Note: If the flue collar is installed on the rear flue exit, the sloped side must face the floor.

The Ideal Steel ash lip is packed inside the firebox. The ash lip must be installed prior to using your stove. You will
need a 7/16” wrench or deep socket and ratchet to install the ash lip.
1. Locate the two threaded studs on the ash lip. The studs will be on the bottom side of the ash lip. The air damper
markings should be on the left as you face the stove.
2. Align the threaded studs with the holes in the flat lip that extends out from the front of the stove. Insert the studs
