Anyone else running heat shields? Are they this effective?
Thermometer on top in second pic shows over 600 and it will bring the teapot to whistle pretty fast. But I can hold my hand on side 1” away from stove. Side shield is warm to touch, wall shield is cold. Shield is 24 ga copper and it seems to do great at reflecting heat. Thermal pic is with insight mtm monocular

I understand having a Heat Shield on the wall behind the stove, protecting the wall. But I don't understand having a Heat Shield on the side of the stove. The goal of the stove is to heat the room and the Heat Shield on the side of the stove will keep the heat from moving away from the stove.
Am I missing something? |

How many times have you stubbed the fuck out of your toes with that contraption?

Why didn’t you pull the stove out enough to not need the shield?

Because of shit around the wood stove and how much heat it throws we have three on the sides plus the one in the back.
  Original owners put the stove in a wierd spot. |

The PE stove we had in the prior house had a built in side shield, somewhat similar to yours. Still heated the house very well.

Our stove sits in an alcove about 2.5’ from the brick. The shields keep the brick a bit cooler so not to bake the stick structure behind it. OP has no structure close to the sides. Unless it’s to try to mitigate risk for kiddos. ETA-I do think that copper looks damn cool |

Just FYI:
Using infrared to judge the temperature of shiny smooth surfaces will mislead you. Shiny smooth surfaces have low emissivity, which cause the surface to look much cooler in the IR camera. More here. |

The goal of the stove is to heat the room and the Heat Shield on the side of the stove will keep the heat from moving away from the stove. Am I missing something? I think you're right about the side heat shields, but NFPA and mfg specs say I need Distances to Combustibles Without Shielding 18” from back of the stove 16” from sides of the stove 18” from single-wall pipe 2" from insulated pipe a 24g sheet metal air cooled heat shield attached to the wall cuts that by 2/3rd while one attached to the stove cuts by 1/2. Since it's less than 16" from side to the flooring past the granite, i put a side shield on there. on the left side, i plan to build a kitchen cabinet 8" from the stove, so i'll probably convert that to a wall style once it's done. it's heating a small cabin, so it's a very small space. i've never stubbed my toe on it, but i might if the back of it was stuck 2.5 feet out into the room |

More here. that's why i included a pic of me holding my hand comfortably on the side shield while the thermometer shows the top over 600*. it doesn't just look much cooler, it is much cooler. I'd guess the side shield is about 100* and the wall shield is about 60*. another thermometer about 10' away showed ambient temp of about 50* |

Heat shields are not going to keep heat in. The convective force between the shield and the stove will have air moving and while probably not as good as radiant heating the convective heating is going to add a tone of BTU to the room.

I’ve yet to light a fire in it. I bought it 8 months ago. I installed it last weekend. I’m looking forward to trying it out. |

It works well if you want to move the heat to remote areas. I have my oil furnace blower and normal household ductwork set up with a recycling timer to kick on for 5 minutes every 25. (I'm using a pellet stove, not the oil furnace). Keeps the outer rooms comfortable and freeze safe down to -20F outdoor temp so far. Some furnace fans have an extra low, constant run setting that would probably move the heat and equalize remote areas even better. |

When i was growing up we heated our home (single wide) with a pot bellied wood stove. We learned to hang aluminum foil on the walls close to the stove to keep the temp down.

if it was durable, i imagine aluminum foil would be work great
