Since the Kennebec River area in Maine used to export ice to places all over the world for over 100 years, in this area it is well known that sawdust was by far the best insulation they could find in the 1700s & 1800s. Ships would leave thier ports to deliver ice to places like Japan, Australia, Europe, and so on. Can't imagine they'd have stayed in business for that long if the insulation was no good! Also, around here, anyway, Ice was CUT from the bays and cove along the river, not produced.
