I am nearing completion of my hot smokehouse. I have used three-quarter inch cedar both inside and outside of my frame. My wife would like me to make it a little more fire proof by adding protection inside. Is concrete board acceptable to use or is there another, medium, that people suggest? She’s worried about chemicals that might leach off of concrete board, so I’m looking for suggestions to line the inside with. After I put whatever layer I’m going to, whether it is concrete board or something else, I’m going to put a layer of quarter inch or thinner aluminum flashing just to help keep uniform heat within. Anyhow, I welcome advice and suggestions both with the insulated layer being attached to the inside walls which are cedar, and or whether I should use aluminum flashing or something else on top to help with uniform heat throughout. As always, thanks for your advice and suggestions!
