Default Is it okay to make the insulating hearth 5 or 6" thick?
Gang,

Quick question:

I want to raise my hearth up a bit. I don't think so but would there be any issues with making the vermiculite/portland cement layer 5 or 6 inches thick vs the recommended 4?

(Also, I scored about 35 "red" firebricks that I"m going to use on a few rings much like another builder).

Thanks
Dick
