BeGreen said:Was the insulation approved by SBI or Flame? Flame warns about makeshift installations in the manual. That's why I ask. If uncertain, PM FyreBug, he works for SBI.
mellow said:Thanks for the suggestion, but this material does not off gas, as soon as you put high temp paint on it you have introduced chemicals and off gassing.
I will keep an eye out to see if fibers are being sucked into the secondary air intakes, if it is I will have to fashion some sort of filter to put over them.
kallsop said:What capacity UPS are you using? I have an APC SmartUPS 1400 and wonder how long it could power the twin fans on an Osburn 2000 insert? I'd like to get at least 6 hours for an overnight burn when power is lost and the generator is turned off. After storms Irene and Alfred we lost power for 8 days combined.
Loco Gringo said:Why insulate the brick in your fireplace? So much heat radiates back into the room from it. The block off plate is a great idea but whats the point in keeping heat between you and the outer wall? There WILL in fact be fibers/dust coming from that batting. Thats what it is, fibers, and they arent adhered. Good luck.
