Re: insulation help

I recently built an oven based on the designs of a few large manufaturers and I used mineral wool insulation. It has a temp rating of 2900 deg. I got it at a drywall supply house and it was relatively inexpensive. It is also known as rotten cotton in the construction trade. It was 3" thick and 2'x4'. hope this helps out.

Re: insulation help

Larger lumber yards or contracting supply houses. Usually comerial drywall contractors know where to get it.
