As your flue is unshielded ( no reflector ) the ply behind it is likely hotter than is safe. Wood will get dryer and dryer until a point where it combusts easily. From memory the surface cannot exceed 90 degrees, but I think that is of a non combustible surface.
A simple and tidy solution is to run a couple of sheets of baby iron up the two walls behind mounted on Rondo battens with airflow allowed by gapping the iron off the floor and leaving a gap at the top. My guess is that a camping type burner like that doesnt come with an install spec ?Attachment 203252

I will measure the distance from the flu to the wall. I did put my and on the ply and it was only just warm.

It came from China. No specs.
