Hi all. I am about to start work on my mash tun. I want to be able to direct fire the mash tun so as I can easily perform step mashes.
I also want good insulation to prevent heat loss. My idea is to insulate the sides and the top of the mash tun but to leave the bottom uninsulated so as it can take a direct flame.
My problem has been finding a suitable insulating material. I have seen on this board people recommending armaflex, is this fireproof?
Would using this material

be safe for my purpose?
Cheers, Andrew
