SS freezer Smoker build- aluminium interior question
So Im starting this build. I know there is talk of not using aluminium in smokers because of the possibility of emitting gasses at higher temps.
This is from the spec sheet of my freezer
Interior - attractive, NSF approved, white
aluminum liner. 300 series stainless floor
with coved corners.
Here is a pic of the freezer, sorry I dont have an interior photo at the moment
I only plan on having a max temp of around 250 f . Does anyone think this aluminium will cause any problems?
Thanks
Toby

Where did that question concerning aluminum come from? I have several aluminum baking sheets that get used to bake bread at 425°F and I used to weld aluminum with no concern about any fumes. Aluminum foil is a standard for about a hundred cooking uses. Some people even use aluminum foil to wrap around wood chips for making smoke on a BBQ grill.
Jut use it and relax it will never cause you any harm.

Hi Ross
I am a chef by trade so I use a tonne of it. And yeah I was thinking the same as you, we cook with it on much higher heats than a smoker will ever get to.
I read it on a forum somewhere, it may have been from Australia or NZ I think.
I just thought Id throw it out there and see what everyone think.
I agree with you tho.
Thanks

I have aluminum skins in 2 of my hot smokers that exceed 300° on a regular basis.
My cold smoker that is in works will also have an aluminum skin on the inside to cover the insulation...
If you get it hot enough to melt the stuff, your meat is gonna suck anyway!
Go forward, you're good.
