Oven hood for wood stove

[Mattis]

Hello.
I wonder if you can use wooden studs as a frame and
then screw plasterboard onto the frame to later plaster the hood.
Is it allowed by the chimney-sweeping authorities?
Might one have to use lightweight concrete, leca or other fire-
resistant materials?
I don't think it gets that hot up there, right?

Feel free to send tips that I can use.

Wooden studs are probably not the best, and regular plasterboards "dry out" from the heat.
Yes, it gets warm, quite intensely too :

I don't think it's great, for example, I have to take down a kitchen cabinet that's against the chimney if I'm going to use the stove... :-/
It's probably best to call your chimney sweep and ask.. They can be quite stubborn about this.., but I guess it would be fine to build with lightweight concrete or something similar...
Read the thread a bit further down about beadboard on the chimney...

OK. What you wrote Bleppe about taking down a cabinet on the wall to be able to light a fire, how is it really with adjacent walls, because a chimney rarely stands completely alone, how does it work????
