For those wondering about the combustion temperature of the wood trim by your wood stove. I took a galvanized piece of sheet metal( 8' and whatever color you like) cut it to fit (up to the window and just over the sill) and set it on 2 bricks which kept it off the floor about an inch. This actually creates convection and gets an air flow going behind the sheet. It has lowered the temperature of the wood to where it is cool to the touch. It has relieved my worrying about fire, and is very cheap and easy. Try it, you'll like it.
