The gap around the stove to the wall really depends on the stove manufacturers guidelines. My stove has a gap of 50mm (5cm) all the way around.
The UK building regulations 'document J' states that a minimum gap of 150mm should extend from the side of the front doors of the stove to the edge of the hearth and a minimum of 300mm to the front.
A stove that is close to the wall will have poorer air circulation around it meaning the heat released to your room will be less. Think of it like standard UK radiator, it sits a few inches from the wall to allow air circulation, if it was flush to the wall all you are doing is spending your hard earned cash heating the wall.
A lot of people seem to think that the gap around the stove needs to be 150mm to the wall but this is not the case.

∙ 13y agoAs a practical matter, room for air to circulate and spread heat. From a safety standpoint, that will depend on the surface near the stove. Obviously, less clearance is needed if the wall is brick, more if it is wood paneling. The link below will take you to an article of clearances, and a link in THAT article to a chart of distances.
