My wood stove

You can buy sheet tin or galvanized tin and paint it black so it blends in. Make it 4 to 6 inches larger than the stove dimensions. Hang it on the back of your stover with those L brackets you buy at the hardware store. No need to fasten with screws.
 
When I put in my stove I put bricks on the wall behind it. I filled the space between the wall and the bricks with cement. I should have left an air space. I have 12 inches from the stove and the wall, the code calls for 36 inches. I thought for the heat to go through 3 inches of brick, and 1 inch of cement, then 5/8 dry wall I should be ok. I am still thinking I should have left a air space between the bricks and the wall. I have never had a problem, but am wondering if I should do something now? The stove never gets over 600 degrees, and the wall much less. I put a piece of roof tin behind the stove now, the wife doesn't like the looks of it. What do you think, If I haven't had a problem in 30 years I should be ok? As I get older I think of things like this more often. stan
Thinking about this, I thought I would share my solution to this. We heat our shop with a wood stove about 24" from the plywood wall in a corner. I took sheets of 1/2" cement board and stood them off from the wall using ceramic fence post insulators screwed in to provide an air space behind the stove. Then painted with reflective paint. 20+ years, no problems.

That will certainly work. I have done similar only with stainless steel mainly for looks. The air space makes a world of difference.
