I use it to give my smoker extra insulation on cold and windy winter days in Chicago. It's super soft and easy to handle. You can cut and shape it as you like. Because it's relatively thick, you'll need strong neodymium magnets to hold it in place. I test some leftover material under an open fire for a few minutes and it holds up. A little glow, a little smoke, but not even close to fire. Works like a charm for my purpose!
