I'm looking to build one of Mud's cottage rocket. I bought the Heat Riser ebook a while back as well. https://amzn.to/3K37KBx is listed as Ceramic Fiber Insulation, is that the same as the Ceramic Wool listed in the riser ebook?

Starting on developing a 10 acre permaculture homestead in a sub-urban area. see http://www.my10acres.info

Hi Jerry, No, Similar but very different.
Ceramic fiber is hazardous to use without protection (like fiberglass)
Morgan Super Wool is a Non-Ceramic fiber blanket.
It is safe to handle until it is heated to over 1500°F (such as inside a riser); at that point, it becomes as hazardous as the other insulations.
An N95 mask or a proper respirator, along with a long-sleeve shirt, is suggested.
