I'm making a heatshield for the rear of my Ideal Steel stove. Can someone post some pictures of how the factory heatshield connects to their stove. I have planned on making 4 brackets but if there is a different way I'd like to see it.

Yes it can but I have scrap sheet metal laying around. Almost $100 vs free wins for me. Plus I like to make stuff myself when I can.
Don't know how to post a pic but mine just hangs down from the top.
As your facing front of stove right side on the back between two bolts with nuts on them mine has about 2 inch spacer and screw going in back of stove. The left side is the same just hangs down with nothing attaching the bottom..........hope that helps

Thanks. I was wondering about the bottom, couldn't see a hole that lined up good. Is your heatshield just a flat piece of seel? I made mine with a 90 degree bend so it just comes to the back of the stove on the left and right sides.
