in THE MAIN WALL
Hello all, I will be installing a wood burning stove in my basement. Code states that it has to be 6" away from all walls. I have a question. Even though it will be 6" away from the walls..is fire rated drywall..5/8" 4x8 sheets sufficient enough for the heat of the stove or should I cover the drywall with something else? Thanks. Butch
