Default Propane forge liner.

I am in the process of building 2 new propane forges, 1 small body and 1 large body. These will replace my 1st old propane forge which is not very efficient or well made. The small body is going to be a single burner round body forge made from one of those party helium tanks using a ron reil style burner. The large body forge is made from one of those spare air tanks with 2 ron reil burners. I would like to use the new body fluid soluble non ceramic blanket. This new type of blanket is made as such if fibers become air born and you breath them in the moisture in your lungs dissolves the fibers so as not to possibly be come cancerous. It cost a little bit more but I think it is worth avoiding the health risks. It comes in
1" 8# @ 2300 degrees. Is that temp high enough because I have to buy it by the roll? I know koawool blanket comes in heat ratings up to 2600 degrees
