Anyone have drop ceiling above a wood stove?

Any issues with it? will be using fiberglass tiles.

Have sheet rock up there now but its dated and we cut a few holes in it over the years for access. I really don;t want to put it back.

Can't say that I do. But expansion of the rails of metal might be an issue. I'd at least check builders code in your area. That said it might be great.

Hmm when we install napoleon gas fireplaces there is always a minimum clearance to combustible materials above the fireplace and in front of it. Those are like 30k btu max so I'm going to say there's going to be some clearance but I'm not sure what.

What Mustang said.
Your stove specs will have a minimum clearance to combustibles above it listed in the clearance diagrams.

Clearance is not much of an issue. I guess its over 5 ft.
I'm just wondering if i use fiberglass tiles will the heat shrink the plastic covering on them.

That shouldn't happen if the clearance isn't an issue. If it's far enough away they shouldn't get much hotter than room temp.

They do have fire rated panels that may help ease your nerves. Those should hold up to the heat better but check your locsl codes
