What's wrong with the Roxul stone wool insulation that Lowes sells? It's in a batt form but no paper backing so easy to shape to your needs. To get it is only as complicated as driving to Lowes. Hey JT!! That would be GREAT-- IF it's rated high enough temp to work. Roxul is the parent company for all the products I've described in this post, so I suspect it might be. Just out of curiosity, does it look like regular fiberglass batt insulation, or like this rockwool that I picked up in KC? chamberscommune.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=maintenance&thread=1490&page=1#12667We don't have a Lowes here in LV, but we DO have a Home Depot. An online search of HD doesn't show they carry it. Same search for Lowes shows the product, BUT in the bag it comes in, so I don't know what it looks like: www.lowes.com/Search=roxul+stone+wool+insulation?storeId=10151&N=0&langId=-1&catalogId=10051&rpp=16Check it out JT and let everybody know. Again, I was just trying to find a universal source for everybody to get it cheaply. You may have stumbled onto just that!! ;D ;D CHEERS! Chuckie

Well, I am always calling Monkey "Swiss Miss" as cheap as she is, but I'm getting the same way since starting this restoration process!! I thought the price of rockwool from the places quoted on here sounded high, so I googled it and found a company called Rockwool International--here is their contact info: www.roxul.com/about+us/contact+usI called the 800 number on that page, and they gave me the number to Four State Supply in Lenexa, KS. I spoke to a guy named Larry that works there, and he told me it sounded like I needed their 1" stuff, and a piece large enough for my needs "would run under $5.00". I drove down there yesterday, he handed me a piece approx. 1" thick by 18" x 4' (I just needed a wee bit to replace some in the oven door). I asked him what I owed him, he said "I don't wanna write up a ticket for that small of an amount, just take the SOB and get that stove back up and running!" Seems I go from one extreme to the other on costs!!! Their product looks like the same stuff, only its firmer and in a sheet. It is rated to 2150◦ F, and since cast iron starts to melt at 2100◦ degrees, I thought it a safe bet in the oven door (I dunno, though, as hot as you guys say those ovens can get in less than five minutes! ) Anyhow, thought I'd let everybody know. If you call that 800#, there maybe someone located in your area that has it. Chuckie I used your rockwoold source in California - had the same exact experience you had where they gave it to us free. However I can't seem to get my door packed correctly. Does your door and oven latch and keeper still get hot? Maybe something is wrong with the insulation. Did you put insulation between the porcelain and the door frame? Or just the door frame and inner lining. Ugh, I really want to use my stove! I have a 2 year old baby and a 1 year old baby and I haven't been able to use my stove since they started crawling because the door gets so hot and they love touching mama's stove and scalding themselves!
