Now let's assume that I can get insulation either free or relatively inexpensive. What are the potential dangers of wrapping a water heater in unfaced insulation? I would think any since the outside of the water heater doesn't get hotter than an attic would in the summer. All I see is that if I can get insulation to wrap around it's pretty much a win/win situation, mostly because I would be keeping it out of a landfill if I bought it cheap. Any thoughts as to how this wouldn't work, or be dangerous?
