Default Re: Is ceramic fiber insulating board worth it?

Ah well, this might be one of those situations where some of us need to chip in to say how fantastic our ovens are with the vermiculite insulation underneath...

Seriously, my oven is insulated with a good thick layer of vermiculcrete and it works really well, I am completely and utterly pleased with it. With the FB board underneath it might work a bit better and loose heat more slowly, who knows? But after firing up I can use cook with the retained heat for three full days - that's not too bad!

It probably depends how patient a person you are vs. how much the niggling thought of what your oven could do if it were different will bother you. If it were me, I would order the insulating blanket for on top of the dome now, but go with Vermiculite underneath the oven.
