A mantle can certainly be done behind the stove. I would recommend using double wall connector (this is the pipe that connects from the stove to the chimney). That will allow for installation of within 6" to the mantle.
The other thing I have seen on corner installations is a mantle on each side - even at different heights. It's an interesting look.

Ferd, looks like you're going to tear it out. Can you close up the living room from the other rooms? Take out all the furniture, take down the curtains?
It will make a mess, but nothing that can't be cleaned up, if you're careful.
An it certainly will be worth it. Especially if you get one of those pretty stoves.
Are the Hearthstone made of soapstone? I always wanted one of those.
oh we will certainly be carefull with the removal....but that is just a part of the whole.
we are also going to remove the popcorn from the ceiling. Thats a nasty job too... we are likely to be pulling everything out of the house and doing a full on, remodel.... IF the Lord is willing...

Also, a 20' long 8" round drainage pipe works as a nice chute to slide the bricks down into a barrel or trailer.

Dude that is cool! have you used it? we have a huge job ahead of us. getting rid of popcorn cieling in the entire house, redoing all the flooring, maybe taking out a wall between the entrance hall and dining room, removing the chimney, cabnets in the kitchen and countertop and sink. redoing the second bathroom, new counter top in the master bath....
basically its a gut job.
we might even (if we have the funds) take in the back porch and make that part of the livingroom. that would be an extra 130 square feet.
