[QUOTE="doctorjj, post: 1828120, member: 7292"] I'd stick with cellulose. Oak Ridge labs has done quite a bit of research and have shown that blown in fiberglass doesn't perform as well as the calculations would indicate and performs very poorly when the temps are really cold. Either cellulose alone or a couple of inches of cellulose capped over the blown in fiberglass is the best. As for the styrofoam boxes, they work or you can make your own from some rigid foam. I'd go with LED's in your cans if you do that to minimize the heat build up. [/QUOTE]
