We are moving our 17-VL out of a corner into our new addition where it will be in the middle of the room up against the wall. . The corner install was by the book clearance to combustibles. Mind you this stove already has EXCELLENT clearance numbers but I wanted to lower the rear clearance a little bit. Here is the chart for clearances.

From what I understand you can get a 40-50% decrease is clearance depending upon what you install behind the stove. Can someone summarize for me how this works? I am finding info. that is somewhat helpful but nothing that really breaks it down on how this works.
Thank you!
