Kinda doubt it but figured I would throw this out there anyways. My alcove is lined with 1/2" cement board and dry stack stone. the cement board is attached to wood studs. Does any of the cement board/stone count towards reducing side cleareances? found a deal on a fw3000 stove((broken link removed to http://www.century-heating.com/en/products/wood/wood-stove-on-pedestal-model-fw3000)), but the side clearances dont really work out. looks like I will be 6" short unless i can reduce the clearances some. If it dosn't count, which again i'm pretty sure it doesnt, is there any other ways?
