    What year was that stove manufactured?
    I’d say it’s more likely ceramic fiber blanket.
    It insulates the top of the firebox to reflect heat and make burning of particulates more efficient, predominantly in the case of EPA rated tube stoves.

    ETA- I have some 1/2” CFBlanket if you need a new piece- PM me the measurements if you’d like.

    It's a 2009
    Ceramic makes more sense. It has 3 tubes at the top of the burn box. Jotul f500

    Its 10x18. If you're willing to mail me some, I'll gladly pay for it or send something in trade.

    Very often, that extra cermamic fiber blanket just disappears. The board underneath it is far more important.

    Guy bought it for his sunroom for and didn't like the mess it made. Sold it with double walled chimney and all the extras for 800!
