Yep. It is the heat shield and reduces the rear clearance. The blower is just along for the ride and to move the air through it faster.
Blower or no blower makes no difference on the clearance requirement.

ok so my manual says a rear clearance of 15" is required. Is this with this heat shield or without it? It came with it so I assume it is 15" with this heat shield in place like it is. I can't find anything in my manual that states it would be less with this in place. hhhmmm....odd.
right on thanks. Do you happen to know if other heat shields are an option with this stove? Maybe I should look into some. I don't even know what they look like!

I have never heard of side heat shields for the Century Hearth stoves. And since they have just laid off half of the people at the plant in Huntington and nobody bid on it in the bankruptcy auction I kinda don't think anything new for the stoves is forthcoming.
In fact I would order a spare baffle assembly for it right now!
