Lets say I want to make a range hood for my portable propane stove.
It's all going to be inside a plywood enclosure thing.
I have a 3 inch diameter fan inside one of those ductwork tube things that is going to suck the air out the window.
The problem is I don't want the moisture from what I'm cooking going on the wood and creating mold.

Should I paint the wood with something or use some coating of some kind?
I'm looking for something non toxic and relatively heat resistant.

Flex seal?

>>	Anonymous Mon Dec 10 19:37:33 2018 No.1513636 >>1513542 The wood won't start on fire. It's not going to get that hot. I mainly need something food safe and mold resistant.

you can seal it with flame safe caulk, it's at the hardware store they'll know when you ask.
i would recommend coating the inside with something metal-based just because it will get dirty, aluminium would be cheapest but you have a lot of options on the inside coating.

>>	Anonymous Tue Dec 11 00:16:09 2018 No.1513810 >>1513773 >seal it with flame safe caulk You mean like silicone? Like cover the entire thing with silicone?

>>	Anonymous Tue Dec 11 14:42:49 2018 No.1514206 Couldn't I just paint it with latex paint and use silicone for the sides?

>>	Anonymous Tue Dec 11 21:45:11 2018 No.1514480 >>1513503 Can you line it with foil? Or bend sheet metal over something a little more flame retardant? Grease fires are crazy

>>	Anonymous Wed Dec 12 05:18:44 2018 No.1514642 >>1514480 How would the foil stick to the wood exactly?

>>	Anonymous Wed Dec 12 05:26:15 2018 No.1514646 >>1513503 You want some High temperature enamel paint. Like for barbecues. Put a few coats on the entire wood area surrounding the stove. Usually comes in spray cans but I think you can buy it in gallon cans for roll on.

>>	Anonymous Wed Dec 12 05:43:24 2018 No.1514652 >>1514646 I don't think it's going to get that hot actually. The main problem is moisture and grease Wouldn't normal latex paint work?

>>	Anonymous Sat Dec 15 12:48:30 2018 No.1517213 >>1517207 You could just use pure cement or silicone, or set them tight, gapless.

Why not? 1mm Aluminum sheet is for sale at any respectable hardware store and can be cut with a simple hacksaw. Then just drill some holes, screw it to the wood, and optionally solder the edges together if you want it to keep out dirt and moisture.

>>	Anonymous Sat Dec 15 23:40:35 2018 No.1517641 >>1517575 Interesting. I have a soldering iron but wouldn't the solder be toxic? I'm going to have it around food right. I have the lead free solder but the lead free version still isn't non toxic.
