Hey, I'm just starting out with burning wood after getting my dad's old cook stove to build an ice shack around. I know very little but have been reading around for the last week trying to figure it out. I haven't fired it up yet but it looks to be in good condition too me. What do I need underneath something like this? Right now it's just on a sheet of permabase cement board, which I just learned evaporates the Styrofoam inside out at 220f. Seeing that the cement board was fire rated I thought it would be a good idea to put it around the stove but now it's not seeming too great. My plan has evolved into putting some 16 ga steel 9 inches away from my single wall stove pipe with a 1 inch air gap between it and the cement board on the wall.
A foot below the roof I have it adapted to double wall 2 inch thick duravent.
My plan is to take that through the roof with roxul insulation surrounding it filling my 2 inch combustible gap and a steel plate on the roof to maintain the 2 inches. The inside of the roof also lined with roxul and will be covered with 16 ga steel.
Does this sound like a good enough plan or do I need some revisions? This is just an ice shack so laws, insurance, and codes shouldn't really apply.
Thanks for your help and hopefully I can continue to learn from your community.
