Would this be good for a basement woodstove to build a frame around the stove to keep it from the foam installation that's covering the basement walls?
1 Answer
Yes, this could be used for that purpose. Please note, however, that using these boards does not reduce the required clearances for the particular stove.

Jerry
from Fenwick Island, DE asked:
April 10, 2020
I am looking for a material I can use outside behind my BBQ grill to protect the external vinyl covered wall of our house. The grill will be a few inches from the wall in an outdoor island type configuration but in front of the wall. Any suggestions other than moving the grill, to protect the wall would be appreciated.
1 Answer
The solution to your problem would be found in the product literature included with your grill or by contacting the manufacturer of your grill directly. You may also contact your local code office to see if any method of clearance reduction would be allowed, but the only definite solution would be to follow the clearance requirements described in the literature for your grill. If the manufacturer doesn't describe a tested and safe method of clearance reduction in this literature, there likely isn't a solution outside of following the minimum clearance requirements.

What's the best product to reduce the distance from the woodstove to the combustible wall?

There is no universal product available to reduce clearances. Clearance reduction, if permitted, is prescribed by the manufacturer of a particular stove, and it is dependent on the stove model. For your application, you would need to check in your installation manual for this information.

Do I use 1 board or 2 with a blanket?
1 Answer
This product is indeed designed for the inside of wood burning appliances. Its purpose is to not only protect the body of the appliance from the heat of the fire but to also maintain high combustion chamber temperatures. You can layer the board, but we recommend metal panels between panels, not ceramic blanket.

Perfect replacement
This was the perfect replacement for a skamol baffle in a scan wood stove that had cracked in two. my husband was able to cut it and shape it just like the original and for a fraction of the cost. We have leftover panels that we will use to replace other pieces.
