Default Re: Insulation Thickness
More is better in this case- Most commercial ovens use at least 4" so you could go either way but if the cost difference is not an issue (depending on the oven size) then I would go with the 6" - keeping in mind that you want the insulation to have some room to breathe- Dont pack it like 10#'s of doo in a 5# bag.....
