I have an Enerzone 2.3 insert
It has a vermiculite board inside on the top instead of fire bricks. My question is do i need the blanket of insulation on top of it like the fire brick had?
 
I thought this insert had a C-Cast baffle with no insulation blanket on top.
 
Were the "firebricks" thinner, but wider and longer than conventional firebrick? Were there two?

The bricks were same size as the side ones in a single layer. I think 1 1/2" thick? There were two rows of 8 or so firebricks side by side. The vermiculite board is the same thickness
 
OK, that is not like the current Destination/Solution 2.3 models which have C-Cast panels according to the manual. To get back to your original question, I don't think an insulation blanket will be needed on top. The vermiculite will act as an insulator.

What year is this insert? Are the vermiculite panels factory supplied?

I stopped at the stove shops last week, and I think the 2.3 had two c-cast panels. I think they were thinner than firebricks, though. It sounds like someone fabbed up the boards he has in there now, not factory issue. I'm just guessing, though.
 
I think the current Solution 2.3 had 2 panels and the Destination has one. But perhaps the older models used firebrick?

That was a Solution 2.3 free-standing that I saw...insert may be different.
