I have mine installed 13 inches from the back wall with just
Rear shield and double wall stove pipe. At 550 degrees for
Three hours, the back wall was nice and cool and I could
Easily touch the stove pipe with my bare hand. My side clearances
Are each 27 inches and the drywall was hot to the touch.
Should I not worry about this because the specified clearance
Is 20 inches. Will I lose much heating capabilities if I Install
The side shields? I don't want to install them if I don't need
Them.
