The factory insulation on my hardy that i recently bought (used) Is shot, top pieces and piece that goes on the back of the furnace. The insulation in the cover is fine. What i was wondering is what would be the best to replace it with that i could get at a hardware store and would also withstand the heat around the stack? Maybe somone has replaced theirs with somthing better than what the came with? Thanks

I put 3 layers of 3 inch (9 inches total) ISO insulation around mine and then put new metal to match my garage.

I have seen yours and will defiantly keep that in mind but i was wanting to leave the factory hull and junk on it for now so i can see how much wood it will eat this coming winter

You can buy the pieces of insulation from Hardy if you are just wanting to replace it. I'm not sure if there are any other products that will be much better than the factory stuff. There is only so much you can do with 2 inches or however thick it is. I would love to do what Bull did with his sometime in the future.

Yea i know about the facotory parts just wondering if i could buy somthing from my local store that is equivilent so i dont have to ship it and pay HARDY'S price. Of course i could trim out all the holes and whatnot, just wondering also how the spray in a can insulation holds up on these unit's

If you could find some spray can insulation that would hold up to the temps I think it would probably work great. I don't know what kind of temps that stuff will take though, especially around the stack. It would make a really good seal thats for sure.
