I would not be too concerned about filling the cones with fiberglass, providing you can
keep it dry and keep the draft of cold air out (patch up the holes). I would trust a couple
of layers wrapped around the stump as well as on top of it, though that may be a bit costly.

Fiberglass lets air through and does not promote rot as direct contact with plastic does.

Good luck,
Olaf
