Hi all, there are a lot of threads on this, but I see a lot of conflicting information. Would really appreciate some advice, or confirmation here.
I'm about to install a block-off plate, using info from this thread:
https://www.hearth.com/talk/threads/poor-mans-block-off-plate-ii.73018/
I just want to clarify that this product is appropriate for this purpose:
http://www.homedepot.com/p/Roxul-Sa...e-Wool-Insulation-12-Roll-RXSS31525/202531875
A lot of threads just say "Roxul", but it is sold in batts and in bales (which I assume is like pink fiberglass insulation/cotton candy). Since some block-off plate threads talk about "stuffing" the cavity around the liner with Roxul, I was assuming this meant the soft stuff, as shown below. However, other threads say things like, "Use the ComfortBatt" type, which looks more like a sheet.
Is this Roxul below what is recommended? I don't mean to be rude but I am not looking for speculation or hearsay or opinions. I would appreciate hearing from people who have actually done this before.
