I recently came across an older Thor Metal Works coal and wood stove. I know this is from a company that is no longer in business but I need some advice on clearances. The metal plate on the rear of the stove says 33 1/2" from the pipe connector to rear wall, 36" from the sides, and 30" from the back all measurements are to combustibles. The stove has side panels that set out 1" and a panel on the rear that sets out 1 1/2". I want to build a corner fireplace made of fake rock. I plan on covering the framing with 1/4" fiberboard normally used under ceramic tile and use mortar and the rock as the final covering. I would like to have the sides about 18" from the rock on the sides and the top will will be in an arch that will be 24" above the stove. I will be using double wall pipe as the chimney pipe. Does this sound like it will work or should I rethink some things. Any help is appreciated.

This will probably need an NFPA wall shield to reduce the clearances. The wall shield needs a 1" air space behind it and it needs to be open bottom and top to allow for air circulation and heat venting. https://www.hearth.com/econtent/index.php/articles/wood_stove_clearances_installing_it_safely

Thanks for the reply. The NFPA approved heat shield shouldn't be a problem to build into my design. Thanns again.
