I can second the advice AGAINST using any sort of steel wool type material to pack your heat muff with. A very nice Pietenpol, Jack Phillips' NX899JP "Icarus Plummet" out of New Hill, NC, went down for that very reason. He applied carb heat and the engine inhaled a wad of the steel wool material into the carb throat, which killed the engine.
