We ripped out our old metal fireplace insert this last spring. The fireplace was set in an wood framed alcove built on the side of the house. We will be replacing the fireplace with a freestanding woodstove. The plan is to have 1” fireproof insulation, then have 1” hardy board followed finally by ceramic tiles.
What are the specs/guidelines for distance from a fire-proof surface around a stove to the stove itself?
