have a question about a shield for a f3cb wood stove that I mounted out in front of a zero clearance fireplace. I have two thin strips of drywall outside of the fireplace approximately 2 And half inches wide. the inside of that drywall is 12 and a half inches to the rear corner of my stove top. my understanding from the manual although vague seems as it would need 14 inches clearance. I could mount a full plate across with the one inch space and one inch opening at the bottom to allow air flow to reduce my clearances to 6 inches I believe with the double wall pipe. I was also wondering if it would be doable to fabricate heat shield mounted to the back of the stove that wraps around the rear corners. studs are there already for the existing rear heat shield would just put this one over the top of it. I believe Vermont Castings did this on the defiant back in the day. does anyone see any issues with this or maybe have a better idea thanks for any info and advance.
