Is Wood ok?

[dan gostisha]

I am still working on getting my conversion up and running.  Is it ok to use wood on the inside of a freezer conversion?  I would be using it on the door and a little trim around the edges to replace the plastic pieces. This smoker would never get above 200 degrees.  Obviously I cant use any type of treated wood.  But if anyone has done this please let me know.  Thanks!!

I can't see why it would be an issue. Lots of folks build from 100% Wood...JJ

For stability in the wood, think about real plywood and skip the chip board...

Sorry it's taken so long to get back on this. Life had gotten crazy for awhile. I would assume you don't want anything treated?

Would 1/2 in work?

And is there any type of paint/primer i should use on the wood?

Thanks.

No treated wood
Would 1/2 in work? Yes

And is there any type of paint/primer i should use on the wood? Not inside the smoker

Thanks.
