Radiation heating is what you have to watch out for. To protect the wall behind the stove, mount a piece of sheet metal on 2 inch high stand offs on the wall. The air space behind the sheet metal will allow the heat the sheet metal receives to be dissipated by air flow, keeping the wall at safe temperatures. The bottom of the sheet metal should be at least 2 inches above the floor, and the sheet metal should extend at least 1 foot above the top of the stove. The stand offs should be made of sheet metal, bent in a z shape, and should not obstruct air flow behind the sheet metal shield. A sheet metal shop can bend the stand offs for you.
What is hcfc 123 chemical fire extinguisher?
HCFC 123 is the raw base material use to produce a halogeanated, safe/effective and environment friendly fire extinguishing chemical agent called "halotron I". It was introduce in early 1990's to replace the "banned" fire extinguishing agents like, Halon 1211 and BCF's, which were found to have a severe ozone depleting potentials. In contrast, hcfc 123 base fire extinguishing agents has a near zero ozone depletion potentials.

"B" class - Fires that result from combustible liquids, such as kerosene, gasoline, oil, and grease.
"C" class - Fires of an electrical nature. These result from the combustion of circuit breakers, wires, outlets, and other electrical devices and equipment. Extinguishers designed to handle this type of fire cannot use chemicals that are conductive since conductive agents increase the risk of electric shock to the operator.
"D" class - Fires resulting from combustible metals, such as sodium, potassium, titanium, and magnesium. These fires occur mostly in chemical laboratories and are rare in most other environments.
"K" class - These types of fires consume vegetable oils, animal fats, and generally happen in kitchens.

What a dry twig does to a fire?
twigs are small. this gives twigs a high ratio of oxygen- to- fuel. this carburation effect, as long as the twig is dry, will permit the twig to flare up and burn up quickly and reach high combustion temperature more rapidly than a large specimen of wood, as the twig has relatively more surface area exposed to the air. so it will briefly add heat and flames to any existing fire.
Why must you be careful when using CO2 extinguishers?
Extremely cold, and displaces oxygen from the air.
