I was performing some pre-season cleaning of my insert this weekend; blowing dust from blower, vacuuming cobwebs etc. I had removed most of the surround to do this and it got me to thinking, since I have an exterior masonry chimney that the insert sits in, am I losing heat through the walls of the firebox, much the same as a basement type install? I thought about buying some Roxul and lining the sides and rear of stove, but thought I'd get some opinions first.
Could this cause the stove to overheat, and would I be unintentionally causing myself some other issues? Maybe its not neccesary at all, and I'm just over-thinking? Any how, thanks in advance!
