Anybody know of a product I could insulate my chimney with? I bought the stove used and have used it this way for the last 10+ years but feel Insulating it would help with the efficiency of the stove. Why do you guys think?

You can buy chimneys with the insulation included, it is up to you how you want to go about it.

I see no need for it.... In fact, that the first time I've ever see a chimney on a boiler more than about a foot tall. I don't see how insulating that will make it more efficient.
I BELIEVE IN MY GOD, MY COUNTRY AND IN MYSELF.

That one definitely need replacing, before it falls over. I don’t see that happening, it’s around 1/4” thick steel. I think I‘ll leave good enough alone.

I shouldn't even comment. But, why would you think insulating the chimney on an outdoor boiler might make any difference in the boiler's efficiency???
If you've been running a used furnace for a decade; you'd be better off checking the PH level of boiler water to insure corrosion has not affected the water jacket!!
