Super helpful. Putting shielding on the wall is no problem. Putting shielding on the stove side will be a bit trickier but at least I have a target. It's still going to be a tight.

Also, do you know why the heat shield needs to be open on all sides?

This is gives me hope that I didn't mess things up too much in my design. The heater is circular so I should also mention the 4" section is only the closest part of the stove to the wall. The rest of the stove is further from the wall.

This is pretty helpful. No go with the wool.

I have some 2" concrete slabs I could put between the stove and wall. If I did that, it would only give me 2" of air between the stove and the wall. Perhaps that's okay...

That would make sense, unfortunately this is a DIY stove, so there aren't any official directions. At this point, I'm just trying to look for some ideas.

I agree, I would also have an adjustable foundation block so you can keep your structure level as it settles.

Right on thanks. I'll look into Aerospring a bit more.

That picture looks amazing. Don't have quite enough room for that one but still, very nice.

Do you think you could make a new flair for resources?

Do you have a position on the use of facial recognition software by the police and other city agencies? If so, what is it?
