Using aluminum for block off plate?

[Dmitry]

I need to install block off plate. I have a lot of left over aluminum coil from time when I did siding for my house . Can I use it to make the plate or part of it. It really easy to work with it and bend it. It's on a thin side . But I guess can it can work.

It should work

Melting point of aluminum is 1,221° F.

The coil of aluminum might be an alloy, but if so, I'm guessing it would raise the melting point.

Hopefully your stove pipe/liner never gets to that temperature. And even if it did, it probably wouldn't destroy the plate, as it probably won't be touching.

I have a coil of the same stuff, and have been unsuccessful getting the steel one done satisfactorily. Maybe I'll give it another go with the aluminum with your inspiration.

A couple of ribs bent into it N-S would probably help keep it ridgid.

One thing to check is whether it has plastic facing on the wicker side, or if it's painted. I might not use it if it was laminated PVC (though really, a small plastic fire in the chimney shouldn't hurt much).

Just take a knife to the corner and see if you can peel up the "paint" or not. If you can't, it's probably paint.
