Well I posted not to long ago about me getting my free woodstove. Well my buddy finally produced it. Unfortunatly it turns out it is a vogelzang boxwood. It is however brand new and never been fired. Guy ended up not heating his garage and just wanted to get rid of it! Well I am planning on using the stove, Please, I know all about the hate on the stove ect so please dont bash my use of the stove. My questions is, and I am hoping someone like fossil ect can chime in, vogelzangs website says the stove needs 36 inches clearance around the stove and a hearth pad between the stove and a plywood floor. My plan is, like in my first post, is to frame out a elevated heart pad out of metal studs covered in 2 to 3 layers of durarock board. I am planning on doing the same to the wall behind the stove, leaving the hearth and the wall connected for cooling purposes, then covering the whole thing in tile or some astetic. Doing the install this way, which is way more than the vog. website says, can I adjust my spacing from the wall to the stove to get the stove closer to the wall?????
