    If these are the Coolroom panels you are referring to, they’re made for cool places, like wine storage rooms.

    Theyre probably not going to like BBQ heat and UV exposure.


    If this is not what youre talking about, let us know more. Thanks.

    Looking at Coolroom panels as far as I can tell its basically just highly insulated foam board. I don't see why you couldn't use them to build a structure as long as its timber supported. But any type of foam board will be extremely flammable: It will melt and melt fast. So that's something to keep in mind.

      Yes, no foam nor plastic around a BBQ.

      Foam boards are not UV stable. They have to be painted with latex paint and it doesn’t like the foam.

    The foam boards, if they burn or melt give off toxic fumes and horrible smoke. So it is a no go.

    You also need enough room for smoke and flame so not to Cetshwayo on fire
