Installing a stove which is not inset in to the wall and it will sit on a granite hearth. Behind the stove there will be a granite surround which will extend beyond the stove by about 8 inches on all sides. I'm the looking to build a stone fireplace around the granite.Have a lovely oak beam which i would like to use as a lintel above the stove. Will an 8 inch gap be enough or is the beam likely to scorch/ burn over time....hope i've managed to explain that clearly enough!!1 Many thanks.
