Insulating Forno Bravo Door

[thebadger]

Gang,

A friend of mine can weld me a door to my specs...

I was going to have him "incapsulate" a piece of leftover Iso board into the board.

I'm assuming if the Isoboard is "sealed" in a metal cavity then it should be fine.

Any issues?

Thanks
Dick

Just letting everyone know that the zinc in any galvanized metal will vaporize and give you headaches at best and kill you at worst.

I wouldn't want any galvanized metal near an oven, esp an oven that gets to 1000F.

Now that is good to know... and my unsuccessfull door goes tiright on the scrap heap!

If anyone is interested the door I made a few months back has been in use for a while now and works very well. I have a few how it was made shots on my photo album link below...wayne

Another name for soapstone is talc stone. It is in fact where talc powder comes from. Sand it and you'll make talc powder

Wayne,
Your approach to the oven is very innovative and impressive. I really like the door, but i probably won't do anything that elaborate. i saw a few doors simply made of wood, but for the life of me, I do not know how that can withstand the high temps without burning up. So i guess i will find some middle ground.
