Insulation difficult

There's a small space near the cooker thats peculiarly inaccessible. The on=ly way to get anywhere near the ceiling there is to lie on one's back, any =other position is simply not doable due to the combination of not practical=ly movable obtacles. The small ceiling area needs insulating, the big quest=ion is with what. It must perform well in a fire, basic canned foam is no u=se.Probably the only physically possible way to do it is to spray or flick som=e sort of sticky insulation up there. The question then is what, as I don't= have a tyrolean applying thing. That leaves:1 fire rated foam - how does it behave in a fire?2 papercrete - what would make it sticky enough to be flicked up onto the c=eiling?3 wet cellulose? Where's best to buy it?The other perhaps is to use sticks to get bits of something up there, but i=t wont be possible to measure up there, so probably that means tufts of fib=reglass after spraying with glue, or something similar. What type of glue, =given that pva has no grab?=20With any chosen insulation, how to apply a VB? It will be needed, given the= level of damp when cooking.NT

I guess it's the spray foam then...
