I have a PE super27 that was installed on a proper hearth and proper specs in relation to the surrounding walls (bare tongue & groove spruce). The stove is in a corner and the distances from the back corners of the stove are within PE safety requirements.
Now I have taken the temps of the wood with an IR gun at the rear corners where it gets hottest with the stove at max operating temps. These temps are usually around 110 - 131F. Is it true that the ignition point of wood is around 500F. While the walls feel quite warm they are not overly hot to the touch. Being bare wood should I cover them, even though they are the proper distance away from the stove.?
Thanks.
