First you need to check with your county codes to see exactly how it should be installed. I know where I grew up you were not allow dry wall the backing had to be some type of stone or brick, you also had to have it off the floor by 6 inches and inside some type of staging area, also made of either tile, stone or brick. The dimensions were also included and there was a safe distance the stove had to be from the wall. The heat of a stove can get extreme and even though sitting from it you wouldn't feel that full effect the drywall will. I think that the drywall itself would dry out even more with the extreme heat. After all it is only paper and chalktype of debris. I would definitely call county. If there is ever a fire and you did not adhere to the county codes your insurance company probably can choose not to compensate for any loss... Err on the side of caution.

∙ 14y agoWood burning stoves are built to harness the heat needed to burn and effectively heat a home. Getting it to the temperature that causes combustion is based on several factors including: the type of stove, the wood used, the flue size, the temperature outside and amount of air coming into the stove. The temperature needs to reach 500 degrees F to have the wood break down and produce heat. Full combustion of the gases will occur at 1100 degrees F, and temperatures should be made to burn these gases.
On the Other: Stove AccessoriesIf a catalytic combustor is being used, temperatures around 500 to 600 degrees F will adequately give a hotter and cleaner burn. The combustor can provide the help in burning the gases from the wood.
Bottom LineFor wood combustion the temperature needs to get to at least 500 degrees F with a maximum of 1100 to 1200 degrees F. What is best and how this occurs is determined by the stove being used.

What does Andrew clements have in his shed he built?
From his website: "There's a woodstove in there for the cold winters, and an air conditioner for the hot summers. There's a desk and chair, and I carry a laptop computer back and forth.
