So I'm working on the install of my Fireview. I was using the equipment of a local HVAC contract to bend my block-off plate when they gave me a large piece of FyreWrap insulation blanket. It's 1.5 inches thick and, I believe, 2' by 12'—way more than I need above the block off plate.

Does anyone know about this stuff? The web site says it can withstand 2 hours of exposure to direct flame, but they don't list a temperature rating.

My liner kit includes an insulation wrap, but are there other places I could use the FyreWrap since I have it? At the top of the chimney for instance? Should I stuff a bunch of this around the lower end. Would it really do any good or just make me feel good?
 
winter pants?
 
Very nice. Thank you.
