Hello, long story short I need to build a small inset "cubby" in the wall above my gas fireplace insert. I'm not sure if this "cubby" would get hot from the radiant heat from the fireplace vent pipe inside the wall behind the fireplace. The inset box would be framed with 2x4 and then boxed out with drywall. It would be placed up in the center between the two studs and just ABOVE the outlets. Do you think that is high enough away from the insert to not be affected by the radiant heat? Id say the bottom of the box would be roughly 3-4 feet from the top of the insert. Should I wrap the outside of the cubby (inside the wall) with some sort of reflective insulation to help keep heat away from the box? or is that a fire hazard? Thanks for any help!

This is the wood, coal, etc...multi fuel burner we have in our cabin. It has been left idle for perhaps the last 10 years. Today I cleaned it out and it looks like it's in good condition but it does need some TLC and repair parts, such as new gasketing, and those fiber (??) soft bricks that line the bottom of the box. Also one of the glass fronts is broken, but seems usable. I know Wernock -Hersey is a testing lab for heaters. These are best picts I could get. Not very clear. It looks like a an Intrepid H1308 upper number is WH001540 made by Vermont Casting, Inc. Can anybody tell me if this is a quality unit and if parts are available? I have as not yet tried doing a GOOGLE search. What can anybody tell me about this unit? If you do a close up of the pic you can make out model numbers.
