The specs on stove instillation are very specific. The owners manual will spell it out.The stove should be installed by a Certified stove installer. It is VERY important the stove is installed and inspected before use to avoid a House Fire.Also check with your homeowners insurance to find out if they require something in writing from the inspector. You would hate to find out the Insurance Co. does not approve stoves AFTER you have had a problem.
Any questions can be answered here….just go there and ask in a forum:http://www.hearth.com/econtent/index.php/forums/viewforum/2/
They sell them at Menard’s, Lowe’s…anywhere that sells wood stoves, use one inch spacers on the existing wall ( this creates air flow behind the wall) and place fiber cement board ( sometimes referred to as tile backer) around the stove, the usual distance between the wood burner and the wall is about 12 inches. You should look up the type of stove you have to make sure of the spacing though, sometimes it is printed on a tag on the wood burner. We also have a sheet under our wood burner.
There are fire retardent backer boards, sometimes black, and require the use of ceramic spacers between the board and the wall. This same board can be used underneath the stove to protect the floor from hot ash and heat.
