I'm sorry.....ambient room and contents temperature. So if the room temperature is 75 degrees, then the temperature of the combustibles near the heat source shouldn't be over 175. Some authorities put it a little higher than that but as I said a "Rule of Thumb" Then there is also to factored into it, Pyrolysis, a thermochemical decomposition of organic material at elevated temperatures without the participation of oxygen. When wood is heated over a long period of time and there is pyrolysis, it may become increasingly easier for it to ignite.

Thanks.
I was wondered about the wood becoming more combustible after a while. Now you got me wondering if it'd be a good idea to trim that paneling back and trim out a little 16x16 square of drywall around it. Kind of like the square tin around the thimble.
That horizontal hit 200° the other night and I quickly choked her down, but I guess theoretically the surrounding wall components are still 2" away from it due to the thimble. I'm talking to myself aint I? lol
