OOOOOOOOOOOOhhhhh. well if you took that sentence literally, then i understand the hogwash statement. Obviously there are other ways. I guess i should have said 'the best way to do an attic".
thanks for the english lesson.

Well at least it doesn't burn like fiberglass, and support combustion in a big way like the foam does.

According to Steve Barker :
Except for the binders, fiberglass can't burn - silica isn't combustable, and the amount of binder is relatively small. Whereas, depending on the cellulose formulation, virtually _all_ of it will burn sooner or later.
i guess burn was the wrong word. it melts away and then the fire (heat) can get to the next level or structural member. You can melt fiberglass insulation away with a match. Just as you can melt steel wool away with a match.

You obviously have your own preferences. I have mine. I prefer fiberglass batts because they are easy to work around. Remove batt - do work - replace batt. Plus, they don't have nearly the dust issues. And they stay where you put them.
