If you have food, grease left in the stove or on the stove top it can catch on fire. Bad wiring can also catch on fire.

Yes, a fire wall is typically needed behind a wood stove to protect the surrounding structures from heat damage and to prevent the risk of fire. It acts as a heat shield, ensuring that the wood stove's heat does not ignite nearby combustible materials. Additionally, local building codes often require specific clearances and safety measures, including the installation of a fire wall. Always consult local regulations and guidelines for proper installation.
When installing a window behind a stove, it is important to consider the heat generated by the stove. Ensure that the window is made of heat-resistant materials and is positioned at a safe distance from the stove to prevent any potential fire hazards. Additionally, proper ventilation should be in place to prevent condensation and moisture buildup on the window.

For a wood stove installation, it is recommended to use cement backer board. This type of backer board is fire-resistant and can withstand high temperatures, making it a safe choice for behind a wood stove.
A firewall (also called a fire shield) can be used to reduce the safe distance between a stove and a wall. A wood stove can radiate heat for long periods and it will accumulate in materials that are too close. A standard design goal is to leave 2 or 3 feet of air between an uninsulated stove (or stovepipe) and any flammable materials (paint, wooden wall interiors, insulation, wooden or plastic trim, floors, etc). As a rule of thumb, if a nearby surface is too hot to rest your bare hand on, then it is too close to the stove. When properly designed and installed a firewall can reflect or dissipate heat from the stove, protecting the wall behind it, thus permitting the stove to be moved closer to the wall without creating a fire hazard. The installation guide or contractor can assist in determining the safety clearances around a stove with or without a firewall. For example, an asbestos fire shield installed with a one-inch air-gap behind and below it may permit the distance to the stove to be cut in half (i.e., 18 inches minimum, less if the stove design permits it).
Yes, an electric stove can cause a fire if it is not used properly or if there is a malfunction in the appliance.
