Why do you want to do that?
If it's because of cold air coming down the vent, simply block it off,
around the liner where it passes thru the damper area...
Not sure if an insulating blanket around the insert will void your warranty...
I'd contact Quadrafire (thru HHT?) & ask a tech...

Check your install manual. You can block off the damper area of the inner pipe.
That will not affect the air-cooling sections of the outer pipe...

Doesn't mean that Quadrafire approves it.
I'd STILL check with a tech...
If Quadrafire says it's ok, then I'd go for it...
'Course the AHJ has final say...
