Our Buck Stove was professionally installed by our dealership. They made sure that all manufactures specs were adhered to upon installation. I took it upon myself to order additional fire panels from Northern Tool Company. Zero heat reaches our walls. I sleep better.
Thank you so much. This is very helpful for me. I am preparing my walls with cement board and stove board shields. The floor is concrete but I am adding concrete pavers for extra protection.
I have some big concerns about my wood stove It’s only 12 inches away from the wall at the rear, no shielding and it’s dry wall. The wall gets hot to the touch. I feel the man that sold us the house had this thrown in to help a sale but safety wasn’t considered with proper distances and shielding
I sure hope you bought a heat shield, I got my umpire heat shield for my walls from tractor supply, since no one down here in Texas was buying them I got them both for 84.00 out the door 😁 yeah I had to drive 40 miles one way but at the price they are now I drove it! Search around it will save you lots and not warp your walls or burn your home down
I have exactly the same issue, the salesman came out to our place prior to install said they'd do it as per specs and it will be fine. Unfortunately when the fire heats up, it heats the gyprock wall and fumes start coming out 😣
In regards to the clearances: If I put in a proper heat shield, does the reduced clearance still measure from the combustible wall or the newly installed heat shield wall?
If you are revering to the double wall, the inner liner is the "crimped" end of the system. It is a common question with double wall as it looks upside down on the outer layer, but in fact the inner layer is the one that will fit inside the flue collar.
