I've seen "fireproof" gunsafes at sporting goods stores that seem to only
have drywall lining the walls. Wouldn't a layer of Kaowool in place of the
drywall do a much better job? It keeps the heat IN the forge pretty well.

I realize this would impact the cost a lot; just thinking out loud. What do
y'all think?

The reason they use " drywall " is that it has a lot of water in it
bound in the material. On prolonged heating the water is driven out
and the " drywall " turns to powder. This takes a bunch of btu's to
do this. So while Kaowool would keep the heat from getting in, it
would not do as good a job at keeping the contents cool.
