I'm finishing off opening up my old fireplace for a wood burning stove. Regulations regarding flammable materials within a certain distance from the stove has made me look for metal stud work to attach plasterboard on the left and RHS walls. I've never used this before and can find many different systems, but mainly for partition walls. The issue I'm having is the existing timber stud is 1", but the only metal stud I can find is 2", any ideas?

Dot and dab the plasterboard straight onto the wall ?
the problem with this is there is existing plasterboard above the fireplace that's outwith the hot zone that I'll need to tie into, and that attached with the 1" timber stud
Plasterboard stuck on top of plasterboard until its good enough to skim

that seems like a bit of a bodge job!
