Just read this part of the thread...

One thing a lot of people don't realize is that...AIR is a great insulator.
No need to worry about that fiberglass sh*t.
Don't know if asbestos is banned in your part of the world, but that's nasty stuff.
Don't need to worry about getting the insulation soaked in water...

Use the thinnest stainless steel sheet that'll hold up without burning a hole through it.
Make two shields so they sandwich - air becomes your insulator in between.
Try to keep contact between the two shields to a minimum.
Bigger the gap between the two, the better the heat shielding, of course.
If you want to get more complex, run a small air duct in between the two for more cooling.
Very little maintenance to worry about...
Little bit more involved to fabricate, install, and remove, but I think it's worth it...
