[Stoves] Ceramic fiber insulation

[Julien Winter]

Dear Graham;

Using ceramic fiber insulation (CFI) is an interesting idea.  It could be
used for building stoves without metal components, and increase their
thermal efficiency. Thanks for that.

I looked at a YouTube video where CFI was being used to make a pizza oven.
He raised a couple of safety issues concerning inhaling fine fibers:

That suggests that if this material is used for cookstoves, there should be
some concern about accidental exposure of stove users to fibers if the
stove breaks apart with age.

Do you have any comments on safety issues?

Cheers,
Julien.
