I have an old freestanding Craft Stove (model #30) and want to install it into a new addition we're building. It has a box fan blower on the back. I was told that I need 36" of clearance from the back of the fan. This will put my stove way out from the wall, right in the walkway. Does anyone know if I can get away with less? I can't find any manual online.

You could build a NFPA 211 approved wall protector to bring the clearances down. As with any change to a structure, make sure that the insurance company is on board and that they are OK with covering you with the stove you are running.
