Jackel,
     i plan on insulating with 2 inch rigid foam board and also wrapped with some other sort.  Any advise would be greatly appreciated.   Going to use the RANCO 111000 aquastat but still need to choose a thermometer that i can wire in and have the remote head in the house.  Indian summer is running out soon here. 
     For the outsite I need to weld some sort of frame to the Waterjacket so I can mount the steel siding

     The door latch wasn't what I was planning on but with the t-handle it is DEFINETLY gonna seal the door.  The door warped a little from all the welding, no big deal, just so there is no air leakage into the firebox.

The more you can insulate the better off you will be.
Now I used just regual fiberglass bats on mine.Seems to work well.When it snows it doesn't melt off the top.
Make your frame as big as you can so you can insulate as much as possible,and have it so you can take pieces off parts that you need to get to it in a pinch, if you have to work on it.

i would go with the fiberglass,the 2''board is only about r 20 or less from what i have seen unless you know of something different.plus fiberglass will take alot of heat from exhaust where as foam might burn a bit.

Airgap,
     Thanks.  Ya the shop sure comes in handy.  It is a terrible mess, building kitchen cabinets,  OWB, and everything else in there.  Gonna be cold this winter though. wont have it heated until next year.

Well we slowed down on the build for a little while.  Pressured it with 5 lbs of air.  found some pinhole leaks,  when trying to grind and reweld we just chased the pinholes for what seemed like hours.  Finally got it patched and put water in it found 1 more leak, fixed it.  It was gonna be done today but I got shafted in to working today.  IT WILL BE DONE TOMORROW !!!
