Vermiculite - Disguised in the fireplace department?

Is this vermiculite the same that we use and they also use for fireplaces?

As insulation? or IN insulation? I thought it was in insulation.

What is the name of the company on that bag? DESA?

I think you are referring to Zonolite which was the stuff that had the asbestos and they don't make anymore (since 1990).

I also don't think you can use it for our purposes. Isn't it glued together?

Actually thanks for the info most garden stores here in SLC sell only fine grade vermiculite, upon making a couple calls after reading this I found chunky in the insulation dept.

Therm-o-rock is another name brand of vermiculite packaged for insulation. It works great for our uses and does not contain asbestos. The mine in Libby was shut down. You can get a better deal on a 3 cubic foot bag if you'll find an insulation supplier in your area. I bought 9 cubic feet for $5, which is what the garden and hardware stores charge for the little bags.
