I think I must have jumbled too much into that question. Let me clarify.

1. If forno bravo sells isofrax ceramic blanket, someone must think its better than kaowool ceramic blanket. Is there much cost differential between the two? Is there much performance differential?

2.How about the non-ceramic fiber blanket that is rated to some extremely high temp? I do know that from the e-bay seller, that sells kaowool and the non-ceramic blankets, that the non ceramic is about half the cost? Could someone comment on the non ceramic. ("gee, Tom, you shouldn't have used that non-ceramic blanket, that's why your oven burned down" - hate to hear that later)

3. how about the insulfrax or kaowool alone, just extra layers.- So, we know what a roll costs,what I don't know is how many rolls do I order to get three layers- 3 rolls? is 3 layers enough? assuming I am not going to use vermiculite. This also means that I will use super isol under the oven, not a layer of vermiculite and cement.

4. why do you have to cover the insulfrax with the anything at all? Specifically, that mud layer.

thanks
