Re: insulation in roof pillars?

It seems reasonable, but bear in mind that even the void areas in the body can benefit from a little ventilation. Moisture can condense in a lot of places, and it would be good to be sure it can get out. Spray foam may prevent that from happening, but glass batts or peanuts may allow some air movement. Peanuts may actually move ant make noise, however.
