Hello friends, I am installing my new Hitzer 30-95 in our living room. The bride wants a mantel to give the illusion of a fireplace. I was going to build a 6"x6 "x 5 foot box beam , then stain and mount. I was going to use 1 inch thick pine. Any suggestion? Can I see some pics of mantels out there?

Only if you post some pix of where you're talking about)
HI, the faux- foyer is combustion proof and a blower pulls warm air in the basement...
The mantel is in pine but the stove/insert is Inside of the faux foyer. That faux-foyer never gets HOT with the air circulation.
If your stove has a potion of it outside of the mantel, some code régulations may apply to your installation.
As Fred said, some photos could help us to help you

Pretty basic, the center panel is part of a 100 yr old door someone through out, the verticals are 1 x 10 pine fluted and chamfered, the shelf supports are homemade, and the shelf is 4 quarter pine stained and varnished. The swirly ma'gigs in the center are glue on from somewhere
