Last post by MountainDon - July 11, 2024, 04:59:45 PMA 1" minimum air space between a sheet metal shield and the combustible material can reduce the overall clearance distance by 66%. There must be a minimum 1" air space along the bottom edge of the shield and the vent space must be open at the top to allow free movement of air. I used that method to reduce the clearance on the wood burner in our gazebo. I also checked the temperature of the wood behind the shield. I forget the numbers but the wood wall behind the shield was at a very safe temperature.

Last post by Eclour87 - July 01, 2024, 10:07:54 AMI'm finally getting around to posting some update pictures. It's only been 8 years! Life happens, but we're still at it! We built the majority of the structure in the summer of 2017. Since then, we've been slowly, yet distractedly working on finishing it between job changes, moving, the pandemic, etc. Anyway, hope folks enjoy the pictures!
