We would recommend adding additional cross tees to your system to turn it into a standard 2' x 2' ceiling grid compatible system.

These panels are designed and manufactured to lay into a grid system, not be directly applied to a surface. However, we do have Nail-Up tiles available that should work for that type of application. Painted tiles are fire retardant up to 300 degrees, so you shouldn't have any issue with heat resistance behind your stove unless it exceeds that temperature.
