Just throwing something out there, has anyone ever considered pouring the hearth on the ground then lifting into place? Understanding that one would require the space to do this and the means to lift it into place, + install lifting anchors.
A random thought when considering where to put possible excess from slab pour

Testing some photo uploads of IT I’ve built ……and successfully. Whist at Bunnnings looking to purchase an Irwin Quick Grip bar clamp for an IT I spotted these two Stanley bits of kit that i have modded . Will make a brick sized block of timber to set in floor and install socket (25mm Poly pipe fitting) to accommodate the ball end.
