Cathedral Ceiling Support....insulation?

[jorswift]

I just got done installing the ceiling ceiling support box. I have my chimney (stainless insulated double wall) up and mounted/installed. I don’t have the ceiling all the way done or stove hooked up yet. But the box is cold from the attic. Is there some type of insulation or something i can stuff it with or around it to keep it from getting cold and possible frosting or sweating before i drywall? Thanks

N/M i see they offer there own insulation for the box! Which I would have seen this earlier, it is to be COLD this week!

Would wood stove insulation work? I know manual says their product but none around here. Would have to order.

Since they make the insulation for this purpose it would be best to use it. Part # is SUSI I think. JUSI possibly. It just looks like plain old brown fiberglass to me.

Will inslulating keep it from getting cold. I just touched it this morning and it’s freezing to the touch inside. Hate for it to sweat after I install drywall.

That’s exactly what it’s designed for.

I was going to guess mineral wool, maybe more like Roxul?

It looks and feels just like fiberglass. We use it all the time.

LOL. the foam board is temporary until the "Universal Shielding Insulation" comes in. I cannot drywall/finish the ceiling until I can stuff the box and surround full of the USI insulation stuff. So I had to seal it off to so I would lose too much heat!
