Jotul F600 insulation blanket

There's not a shiny side to the blanket. Did you get a replacement?

Oh, I did not know that.
Yes, it is a generic replacement from my local stove supply store.

Sounds like they sold you a piece of cerimac wool blanket that's intended to be used for insulating a liner. Got a picture of it? Does one side look like aluminum foil?

Brolley said:

Yes. Foil on one side. About 1/2" thick.

Ya, that's not gonna work. You need a piece with no foil, for obvious reasons. Have you ever thrown an aluminum can into a fire? Not good!
It should be about 3/4" thick with no foil.

The Jotul replacement is pricey. It's real fragile and needs to be replaced every two or three years. I got a 10 ' roll for less than one. I posted the details here a few times. Try doing a search.

Go ahead and take a torch to it. It's aluminum...
The blanket lasts for many years. I clean some that are approaching 10 years old and have the original blanket. Now you could remove the foil, but it's not gonna be thick enough anyway.

Thanks webby, I appreciate your replies. Just a little frustrated with my local "wood stove store"! Any options until I can get a true blanket?

Pull the foil off of it and use it for now. It should separate pretty easily.

I went from 2008 to this year before I bought a replacement blanket . . . just gotta be careful when you clean.

That said, the Jotul dealership near me does the same thing as you . . . they said it is easier and cheaper (for them and for me as a buyer) to buy a roll and cut off how many feet the customer wants.

That's how we do it too, but without the foil.

For the record, I was just quoted $38.00 for a new insulation blanket for my F600.

Was yours foil backed?

No. No foil.

I have an F600, so I'm familiar with the baffle blanket. One word of caution: if you burn with the doubled up thinner blanket you bought you need to be careful with burning a large fire. The blanket sits on the baffle right up near the front edge and I'd be concerned that too much exhaust flow might shift the light weight blanket backward and block the opening to the flue collar back there. When the stove is cold you can reach in through the front doors and feel on top of the baffle to make sure the blanket is staying in place. Good luck.
