Question:

insulation what kind?

Answer:

yes you canhow long depends on the size of the container.
Best bang for your buck per inch is blown in cellulose, as thick as you need in your area of the US [usually minimum of 12 in milder climates]There is also blown in fiberglass, but it is a little more spendyMost expensive is unfaced fiberglass batts, which need filled in above each ceiling joistAny stove pipe that is still hooked up or could be in the future needs to have an airspace between it and the insulation, as well as light fixtures such as recessed lightingI usually build a box around and on top of these with 1 styrofoam sheetingThere are certain lights that are approved for contact with insulation, but if you are unsure, always leave some airspace.
