heat shield question

[Arhuranna]

Hello,

I am putting a Olympic Franklin wood burner in my garage and need help with the heat shield. I am planning on using 24 ga. galvanized metal. What can be used for a non combustable spacer? Will copper pipe or galcanized pipe work? How often should the spacers be placed. Thanks for the help.

Can we assume you have checked with local authorities about installing a wood stove in a garage. Normally this is against code. But if this is a detached garage where vehicles and flammables are not stored, they may make a variance. Don't leave the franklin unattended. These stoves are not the best out there.

Home depot sells metal studs.

Thanks for the advice,

I have checked with locals and insurance and all is OK for putting in my shed. Hadn't thought about using metal studs as my spacers, will take a look at that this weekend.
