Looks like a beautiful stove.
Don't want to be a nay-sayer, but it looks like your stove is way to close to the walls. If walls get too hot to hold your hand on them, its too hot. I had the same situation, and as it was explained to me, continued heat of the wood structure will lower its combustion point over time, with disastrous results. I had brick lining the alcove, but the expert said the brick would conduct the heat right through to the wall.
Luckily, there is a pretty easy solution. Get sheet copper for the wall wherever the stove is within 12" of the wall. Install so that the copper sheet is held at least 1 inch away from the wall. The effect defies reason- the copper will conduct the heat away such that it will barely be warm to the touch, and the wall behind will be cool. Prior to the copper, the brick would get so hot you couldn't even touch it, much less hold your hand on it.
