$\begingroup$ OK! It's a lot bigger than I imagined, so there is more room for insulation. I added an answer below with some images from your link which are helpful. If you want to include them in your answer, I'll delete it later. I think the key point is in these two sentences - you might consider highlighting them: "Pyrolysis creates the product gases that are blowing outward and create the desired blockage of convective and catalytic heat flux. Radiative heat flux is reduced by introducing carbon compounds into the boundary layer gas which make it optically opaque." $\endgroup$
