I am looking for rigid insulation to shove inbetween my insert and the masonry it is installed in to help keep the heat out of the masonry. The stove manufacturer says that the masonry can be touching, but I would prefer some insulation.
There is about 1/4" clearance on each side and I would probably put 1/2" thick on the back side. Cost is not much of a factor, I am looking for the highest insulation value that is reasonable. The stove surface gets very hot so that would rule out all the types of insulation that I know about.
