Hi guys I’m new on here and looking for so advice. My stove is within the clearance code to a combustible wall but I’m adding a 3foot high brick wall around for looks. Do I still need the 1 in gap behind the wall still?

No as long as you have the required clearance between the stove and wall adding brick in between doesnt matter. Some stoves it will even reduce clearances some even without the 1" gap
