Hello. new to the site, but i still have a question for you guys. i have recently purchased a 1980 Frontier wood stove. i need to know what the clearance to combustables is for it. it has the tag but it says 49 inches from the back of the stove to the wall. that seams excessive. if this is the case i have heard that i can build a back shield of some material that will allow me to move the stove to half that distance. not sure if that is true. i trust the person that is telling me that though. i have 1/8 inch stainless plates that i was going to make it out of if that is the case.
Also the bottom of the stove has a plate on it to reduce the distance on the bottom i assume, i am wandering if i can just do some sort of durrock and then a layer of tile and use that for the harth.
Any info would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
