I could not find a clear answer or guidelines on this, any help is appreciated. As background, my stove is installed per manual with all clearances to combustibles met. Just outside the clearances are wood walls. Is there any issue with adhering stone to the wood walls, if then the stone itself extends into the clearance range? Or is an air gap required in this situation?
My concern is that stone has a higher thermal conductivity than air, so I was thinking in theory, the stone being closer to the stove could absorb and transfer a higher temperature to the wood backing?
Also, as a general note, I'm seeking ways to capture more heat from my stove and keep it in the home. So any additional tips or creative things you all are doing (beyond the obvious sealing up and insulating better) would be greatly appreciated!
Thansk for any/all input!
