Hello gang,
I'm rebuilding my door which I built four years ago of wood. I had it backed with thin sheet metal but that was just a stop-gap, temporary thing. Back then I bought two rough-cut oak 2x4s; one for immediate use and the other because they were green and I knew the wood would dry and shrink. So now it's time to use the dried wood and make the permanent door. This time I want to back it with whatever metal is used for the metal doors I see on ovens on this site.
I don't know squat about metal. I plan on going to a local metal-works business and have the piece made. Is there anything I need to know about metal type? What should I get? It's really only to be a backing for the wood door. So it can be as light as possible; doesn't have to be the door itself. Just a barrier so I don't cook the door along with the sourdough.
Thanks all.
