Here's a thought: Google your woodstove, download the manual, look at the installation requirements, and then measure your clearances. Also check the national fire codes for woodstove installations, what is termed combustible and what is non-combustible, and the measurements they require. Most local jurisdictional requirements follow national code.
Wish you luck. We heat with wood, primary source, with oil as backup, and love it. Had insurance company inspect it several years ago, when we changed from a Fisher cast iron to a Hearthstone. (They did want to re-inspect a few years ago "to make sure we had the proper clearances. " . I sent them a couple of pictures showing that the stove was still in the same place, that we hadn't moved it, that we'd be happy to accommodate the inspector, but felt the need to spend money on an inspection just wasn't there. Got an acknowledgement to the email saying they were reviewing. Never heard another word and we still have the same company.
