    It's called WOOL, made by your faithful sheep in Scotland and
    elsewhere.
    When – during an earlier incarnation – I worked in an aluminum
    smelter, we had to wear garments made from heavy 100 % wool (woven is
    best) to protect us from sparks and heat. It works - try it, you like
    it! If it's good enough to protect my skin, it's good enough to
    protect your setees, methinks.

    Congratulation on having a solid state fuel stove - I love mine, now
    in the fifth winter.

    George of Scaramouche, Lake Ontario, Canada
