I am going to attempt to construct a homemade version a Southern Pride style
rotisserie smoker - on a smaller scale than most of their units. To do this,
I need to insulate the smoking chamber. The top, sides and back of the
chamber will be two pieces of steel each, with the insulation sandwiched in
between. I am wondering if any of you might have an idea of what kind of
insulation is suitable to this purpose.

Would appreciate any information you might have.

Thanks,

I would used pressed insulation board, I'm not sure if that is the proper
name for it but it is soild insulation that can be easily cut and it won't
slide down, it stays ridgid.

I don't know this type but rock wool will do the trick. since you are
working with a double wall, the air in between might be enough insulation
(make sure there is a tiny hole. hot air will expand).
although rock wool is used a lot for insulation in hot places, be careful.
it can "absorbe" fat. if that happens, you don't want it to close to your
fire.
