Roxul...What R-rating to insulate above insert

[jscs.moore]

Hey guys...just a quick question. What R rating Roxul Batt should I buy to insulate above the block off plate and up in the damper area??
thanks!

3.5" thick batts are fine.

Thanks Begreen...when I was looking online at Lowes for Roxul batts they have different R values, does that just refer to the thickness?? Just want to make sure I get the right one?

Yes. What ever you get you will have a lot left over.

I put as much Roxul as I could above my insert. It is cheap and extra R-value never hurts.

I did the same and gave away the rest to another forum member.

I'll have to go through the same process all over again...we moved last month!
