I'm currently in the planning/design stages of building a cabinet smoker on wheels. Looking at interior rough dimensions of 60" tall, about 18" wide, and about 18" deep. I'll be insulating the walls with high temp batting. Looking at doing mild steel for the interior and exterior surfaces. I have some heavy duty ss grates I was able to get out of some industrial kiln's (small ovens). I will be building a separate smoke generator and the whole system will be electric.
Anyway, what I'm trying to decide is what paint to go with. I can have the whole thing high temp resistant powder coat painted. This paint is used on campfire rings and I've been told it holds up very well. Being that I'm dealing with making food in this, I'm not sure what everyone thinks of powder coating and if it would be harmful? I really don't want to leave the interior unfinished or have to periodically recoat with vegetable oil or grease. Wisconsin humidity would rust this in a hurry!
