When I wrap my liner with the insulation blanket, how far down should I insulate it? Should I stop the insulation before it comes through the lower block off plate?
Yes....wrap the entire length of the liner except where it comes through the block off plate. I am stuffing a bunch of Roxul around my block off plate, so as to insulate to prevent me losing a bunch of heat up the chimney also. I am doing the same thing at my house. I just finished our church parsonage and now can turn my attention to getting mine done. My stove is very tight in my firebox on top so I won't have but 5-7 inches of pipe sticking out of my block off plate before it attaches to the stove.
Yes the tape holds up Ihave puled liners after 15 years and the tape is still stuck. But the stainless mesh sleeve is there to back the tape up anyway.
