Is there an appropriate way to increase the clearance of stove or pipe to wall using spacers and a specific material? Unsure of what to use, looking for something cheap and easy.

It depends on the stove really
 
Yea for pipe, going double wall but where it enters ceiling right before it is going to 45 out away from wall I’m looking more like 5” clearance to drywall
What stove is it?
 
Yes but 6” clearance to combustibles, I’m talking about adding a non combustible pad or wall protection of some sort with 1” air gap with approved spacers
What is the clearance allowed in the manual?

Is the only clearance concern with this small section of stovepipe coming out of the support before it offsets away from the wall? If so a short, ventilated heat shield there should be effective, though probably not on the books.
