my pellet stove is being installed tommorrow afternoon, I just remembered that the wall had blown in insulation, they put a fishnet up on the 2/4's inside, and blew this stuff in, I thought the guy said it was treated with a fire retardant. Is there anything extra I need to do because of this type of insulation over standard fiberglass insulation? thanks in advance the house was built in 1994

I agree with Orange Crush. The wall thimble has that outer ring which is the heat shield. The out ring will protect combustionables from the pipe heat. The fire resistant insulation should be fine.
thank you, I am trying to cover all the bases, I want the install to be safe of course, and have been running everything through my mind. thanks again,,,ed
