    fwiw, I intend to do the same thing. Even if I have to replace the door every season or two, it makes more sense to me than going high-tech.

      Unless the door goes up in smoke, which seems unlikely, I think the door should last as long as the oven... I don't see any problem with woodworm, and a good bit of char should prove an excellent wood-preserver

        my first door went up in smoke !!!! BUT it was just plywood with one sheet of Lt, gauge metal and I probably put it on while the oven was too hot, I wanted to see how hot it would hold overnight,,, In the morning there was a pile of ashes, It did provide me with a good laugh and a good lesson

            Actually, that made me laugh as I could picture it happening to me.

            I was thinking of using 1x6 and 2x6 red cedar, laying it 90 degrees to each other with screws as well. This will give me a door over 2" thick and cedar soaks well.

              Hey,, it was funny,, thank god the oven is away from the house,,, I can still picture it just burning up in the middle of the night all by itself and no one noticing....

              I thought I had taken pics but I cant find them, It was a cute little pile of ashes,,,,,,,

              Enjoy

                My only concern here is the red cedar, I have a bunch and it was suggested, and I think I agree that it is a smelly oily wood, I dont know if you would want any of the fumes/steam coming from the door into the oven, Maybe if you used the cedar on the outside ?
