good answer :laughing-rolling:

also you may not need to insulate the pot head ? Not many seem top bother with pots ? i dont on my stripper.
just the boiler wold give you the biggest efficiency gains in gas use.

could you drop it down to below the handles and avoid that issue a little. Maybe something to fill the gap and make a flue with damper out the back to direct heat etc ?

I'll just chuck another option out there...here's what I did. Got this insulation stuff from Clark Rubber, cost F 'all, I think cost about $10 for enough to do the boiler.
I think it's called reflective shit or something, they use it in roofs, but have the shiny side facing down to reflect heat back into the house.
For some reason through testing, I found it better this way with the shiny side out...anyway, even tested at 100'C, and you can touch the insulation material...works good for a mash tun holding in the temp too...i've shut it down before with the column still attached, and come back almost 24 hours later, and the thing is still steaming heavily inside.
