Our old farm house has a clay tile chimney system. A new chimney liner was installed this year. My question is, the wall behind where the stove will sit is real brick. Is this considered a non combustible surface, or would it have to have a known airspace behind the brick? My stove calls for an 8 inch clearnance from the back to combustibles. Right now I'm looking at needing a hearth extension for the front of the pad, keeping the stove 8 inches from the brick. Because the front of my pad is 45'd off each front corner , the extension is going to make it look like poo. To use my 4ft X4ft hearth pad ,I would have to bring the back of my stove within an inch of the brick. The back of the stove has a heat type shield with an airspace that the blower is mounted too. Is it possibe to but the heart extension to the back and butt the full hearth to that, so it's not as obvious, or is the place were they but together considered a break? The break would be under the stove. Again there is an ash system which is also another airspace. Stove has legs not a pestal.
