Hi All
Great forum! Lots of good info here.
I am in the process of installing a Pacific Energy Pacific insert in my home. I will be using a SS liner in an existing masonry chimney. I am confused about what type of insulation I should use when installing the liner for the stove (fiberglass vs ceramic). The dealer I purchased both the liner and stove from said that I could use standard fiberglass insulation (with the paper removed!) to insulate at the top of the chimney under the cap and around the liner and that I could also use it in the smoke chamber/around the liner. I plan on installing a block off plate (either custom made or the existing damper in a modified form) and want to be sure to use the correct type of insulation behind it. Why would I chose ceramic over fiberglass? Any input would be much appreciated.
