When I'm running my Fisher hard and have splits all around it the hottest I've seen on the IR is 110 °F. The bricks from top of stove up about 6' average 120 °F .

The heat shield from northern tool will not work on my mantle because it's only 10" deep. My mantle is 13.5" from the brick so I'd have a gap in the back if I got that one. I'm gonna try and make one today at work out of sheet metal. One question...if I run the heat shield through the paint line here at work (ED coat black) it won't give off any harmful stuff if it gets hot will it? The "paint" is baked on in the oven at the end of the paint line anyway. Just wanna make sure it's safe. Hate to create another problem in trying to cure one. Anyway, here's some pictures:
