Could Woodstove Burn Plasterboard Wall?

[leao]

Hi everyone, I want to install a wood stove in my house in Spain. It would be a straightforward task except that I want the 2" diametre flue to pass through a 1" thick plasterboard wall before exiting the house, in order for the woodstove to also heat up the adjacent room at the same time. I am worried that the plasterboard might catch alight. What basic steps should I take to avoid this, e.g. if there was a 2" gap all around the flue from the plasterboad would that be sufficient? I am not sure exactly what the composition of the plasterboard is. The floor of my house is porcelain tile.

Here is a diagram of my conundrum...

Any advice would be great,

Leao

Hi Gus, do you mean I have to take the entire wall down and replace it with firewall plasterboard? If that's not what you mean, is it possible to remove and replace only the section near to the fireplace? Also do you have the exact URL for the "selkirk flues system" that you also referred to?

Many thanks, Leao

Thanks Gus but sounds a rather complex, essentially what I want to know is if a 2" gap between the plasterboard and the flue is safe?

Cheers, Leao
