One company who manufactures them is Thermal Ceramics in Augusta, GA. I have
2 numbers for their headquarters: (706) 555 1212 and (706) 796 4200. They
will probably refer you to a distributor. The one I went through was the
Philadelpha office at (610) 293-9750. They will probably refer you to a
a supply house. I actually purchased my liners from P&H Sales in Hanover,
Maryland at (410) 859 8460.

Thermal refers to the liners as "riser sleeves". The 8-1/2" ID variety
come in 1 foot lengths in boxes of 8. The sleeves fit quite nicely inside
10" galvanized stove pipe, which you can get in 2 foot lengths at your
local hardware store. BTW I have Nils Lou to thank for this information.
You can find it in his excellent book, the Art of Firing.

I suggest looking under Refractory in your phone book for a dealer. If
you are looking for just the ceramic fiber blanket rolls you can try
APGreen nation wide at 800-887-5555, there may be a dealer near you.
