    Question about a commerical refrigerator

    Quick question for those of you smoker builders.  I picked up a defunked commercial refrigerator and started to inspect it and found it to be lined with plywood instead of insulation?   Do I need to remove the plywood and replace with high temp insulation?  Any insight would be great.
