The hearth underneath Grandma gets really hot, it’s red brick. I want to attach a heat shield on the legs. What should I use, metal, cement board, ?

Ig doesn't matter, any non-combustible material. It is the air space that does the cooling, not the shield material. Metal should be 24 ga. minimum. I use old metal shelving. I had a bunch of damper clamps that had come with unvented gas logs I clamp onto legs and set the shelf made to size on them about 1 1/2 inch below stove bottom. Floor stays cold.
