Can you screw cement board directly to the back wall and mortar 1/2 inch think stone to the wall to reduce the clearance of a wood stove or do you have to use noncombustible spacers between wall and cement board?
Wood Stove is 15 inches from the wall

I saw some good looking wood stoves on Lavadeals and I’m planing to purchase one as a family Christmas gift. Have anyone ever used a wood stove? Is it easy to operate and clean? Will it be very dangerous to have real fire in the house?
Anyone can help?

Chuck asked:


I am wanting to install a wood stove into a house me and my wife have. The walls are concrete walls and I was wondering about burning wood in it. The wood stove is a cast iron free standing wood stove from www.harborfreighttools.com I have a free supply of wood pallets..that I could cut up and burn. Do you think there is any problem using that type of wood to burn. I would keep the the flue cleaned out. Where would I buy the stove pipe to install it at? Also what is the best and easiest way to cut a 6″ hole thro a concrete block wall? and tips or suggestions? I am trying to keep our home warm on a budget..
the site is www.harborfreight.com and the stove is part # 32058-5VGA
THERE is no issues with the insurance..the house we have is in Mexico and is a concrete home..
