If you plate the inside with Steel or AL and wood on the outsie it should be
fine. __Stephen "Charles Demas" > wrote in message ... > In article >, > Rob > wrote: > >Can the materials used for a walk-in refrigerator withstand the > >temps of Queing? > > Depends on the materials. > > Wood should survive, but I'm not sure plastic would. > > > Chuck Demas > > -- > Eat Healthy | _ _ | Nothing would be done at all, > Stay Fit | @ @ | If a man waited to do it so well, > Die Anyway | v | That no one could find fault with it. > | \___/ | http://world.std.com/~cpd |

Didn't someone that used to post regularly in this newsgroup have a set up he called "Freezer-Q"? Seems to me that I remember something along these lines...Mike Willsey, maybe? Yep! Here's what Google has to say about the whole idea: http://www.google.com/groups?as_q=Fr...ecue&lr=&hl=en I don't remember whether it worked or not, but for the OP, it has been done before. BOB |

The freezer Q was a 2 door commercial freezer, but not a walk in. It had
painted interior steel ceiling, walls and bottom. But door liners were plastic which I could easily slide out and replace with aluminum panels/sheet that I obtained at a local steel supplier. Other than that, 3 inch hole sawed through top and lower rear. Used 3 inch aluminum dryer vent with flap for air intake and same for top except I pulled off the hood and flap, slipped in a 3 inch duct pipe and rain cap. Used metal wash tub with coals and logs. Could cook direct, indirect and even grill with it. The insulation made it very efficient, I did 165 pound hog, briskets, turkey, etc..

All-
FWIW, I inquired with a walk-in freezer/cooler manufacturer. After dealing with his un-customer friendly attitude I learned that the insulation they use will only withstand temps up to 200 F. So, if you're cold smoking...great idea. If your barbecuing (like I wanted) better find another way. On a related note, I found some high temp insulation http://tinyurl.com/2s7u6 Rob Q for all so long as it's not parboiled. |

It doesn't matter what the shell is made of, you will create an outgassing of the foam insulation when it is heated to barbecue temperatures. If the walk-in uses fiberglass insulation, there is no problem. [Posted on the bottom, because it isn't a matter of personal likes or dislikes, it is a matter of proper context.] |
