Hi All,
Note: I originally posted this in the wrong forum; apologies in advance if I'm breaking any rules in re-posting. I couldn't figure out how to move the post.
I'm looking to get a Glenwood #6 to replace a wood stove in the finished portion of my basement. The wood stove is partly tucked into a fireplace. The Glenwood would sit on an a hearth pad in front of the fireplace. The headroom is 7 feet to a drop ceiling. I searched the forum, but I didn't find any advice on heat shields for the ceiling. Do I need one?

Smoke pipe should have 18 inches minimum clearance to ceiling without any shielding.
Stove should be fine with 2 ft. clearance.
