Puting ceramic tiles around electric stove do i need to put eny fire restaince up first?

No you don t have to if its just a normal stove. if by stove you mean stove/oven by no means no you don t since the heat isn t a factor. If by stove you mean a heating stove that heats a room yeas and no .If you have a minimum of 12 inches of space between the 2 then no you shouldn t need to . If less then you may want to or check w/ stove s maker or your local codes since they vary from town to town and country to country GL
