We installed a Madison wood stove recently and the wall to the left (if facing the stove) is getting a bit too warm for my liking. It’s drywall but behind that is the exterior wall of the house, which are ICF. I suspect the concrete is holding some heat, but I’m looking into this issue further.
our unit has the heat shields and I even called the manufacturer to make sure I had the clearances right. I’m not in to front of the stove now, but I’m almost sure we are actually an inch or so further away from the wall that we needed to be.
my temp gun is saying the wall is hovering around 118-120 degrees on average after a 450-500 degree fire has been burning for awhile.
would adding a heat shield to the wall be a good starting point or Is there another option?
thank you.
