This was an afterthought now I have to cut a small hole in the roof add the perlite and then seal it back up again. My advice to builders is to think about what you plan on doing...in my case I wasn't sure if I was actually going to add the perlite to my enclosure but after thinking about it why would I skip out on adding something that will only help my oven and in the grand scheme of things $125- $200 is not gonna make a difference in this build. Can't hurt to add it so I said what the hell.Last edited by Chach; 10-10-2019, 02:34 AM.

I just picked up bags of perlite for $12.60 4CU ft in each bag. I think that's rather reasonable. Home town perlite out of Hodgkins, IL If your in the Chicago area or close they offer an order and pick up at the yard..if your not in the area its expensive to ship I wouldnt bother. They also have a location in Pennsylvania. Company is called Silbrico. Cheapest I found for that size..Amazon has it for $35 free shippingLast edited by Chach; 10-08-2019, 07:21 PM.

I got mine from menards and i believe it was the Mason version. Whatever is cheaper will be fine. Make sure to wear a respirator when you put it in. I believe the stuff is related to asbestos. I think i bought like 45cf of itor there abouts.

should I use this perlite http://www.hometownperlite.com/Krum_details.html or this perlite http://www.hometownperlite.com/Mason...l_details.html. I found a supplier near me for a reasonable price. one is a masonry perlite used to insulate masonry walls and the other is for garden use.

Is there any benefit to adding loose perlite to my enclosure even though I have three inches of ceramic blanket over my oven.

Hey Ricky, things are finally starting to come together. We now have siding, sheetrock is up and i am mudding and tapping everything. This project has almost killed me it was way more than i anticipated. I will be pulling it in at close to budget, but that just means i had to do more than i ever planned for. On the bright side it is turning out very well and everything looks like it makes sense and is not just slapped together as some additions do. I am excited to see how the roof turns out. That will be very cool.
