Dwarf stove with currogated metal shield.
These shields are constructed with a sheet of 24 gauge or thicker sheet metal or 1 2 or thicker cement board with 1 of air space behind the shield and around the perimeter to allow free air flow.
Copper has a very high thermal conductivity and is much cheaper and more available than silver which is the best metal of all for conducting heat.

Like iirc copper absorbs heat more readily than aluminum but doesn t radiate it as well.
Copper makes a great heat shield because it reflects about 99 percent of the heat that strikes it.
Thus a lot of nicer heatsinks are made with a copper base to absorb and aluminum fins to radiate.
Stainless steel is often used but copper is also an option.
