I replaced a gas insert with a Kozi pellet 100 insert.
I have removed everything in side and am left with bare stud, and gas chimney liner,
I did install a pellet stove liner in the chimney, and now am redoing the fire box/ insert area.
my plans are to install cement backer board, using HeatSafe Fireproof Wall Shield Spacing Kit.
will this be sufficient? or any additional precautions?
how about sealing the corners, what to use?
I had considered using 22ga sheet metal as an additional barrier, (creating a fire box ,kinda)
I'm in the boonies, so no local inspector.
just want to be safe, seeking input on best / economical method.
thanks
