Yes Maurice! That is exactly what I am working on. I dont have much room, but I am going to try to put that heat shield in there somehow. Even a very little space can work well. The air flows up behind it and keeps things cooler. I was looking into some board, but again, no room. I think I will just use some sheet stainless.

I also need to improve the fan situation. There is actually a baffle that gets made around the pipe. The fan sucks on the low side, then blows back onto the pipe, and the air goes up and out on the cabin top. If that makes sense?

You might be able to see the 2 holes behind the pipe. The stand pipe gets enclosed in a cabinet, with a straight up blower vent, thru the cabin top.

Today I have been insulating the pipe at home in the garage. There will be a lot of 2 inch by 1/8 fiberglass wrap on it.

Anyone ever use flexible silica?
