What happens here

To enhance fire resistance within the grilling station's interior cavity, cut Hardiebacker (cement board) to fit the internal walls and base. Screw these cement board pieces into the OSB frame, creating a non-flammable insulation layer. Then, cut galvanized steel flashing to cover the Hardiebacker, securing it with screws. This creates multiple layers of fire protection, preventing heat transfer to the wooden frame and reducing fire risk.

Goal: Create a fire-retardant and insulated grill cavity.

Tools and materials

  • Cordless Drill/Driver DeWalt — Securing cement board and flashing with screws
  • Galvanized Steel Flashing — Adding an additional layer of fire protection and a sleek finish
  • Hardiebacker — Providing non-flammable insulation for the grill cavity
  • Level Stanley — Ensuring straight cuts and level installation
  • Screws — Attaching flashing and cement board
  • Tin Snips — Cutting galvanized steel flashing
  • Utility Knife Stanley — Scoring and cutting cement board

[Music] all right so let's make this smoker area part more fire retardant a little more safe so what I'm gonna do is I'm going to use Hardiebacker or a cement board to screw it into the OSB lines inside of it does it act as an installation for the heat it's not it's not flammable so this is perfect and then on top of it we're gonna take this galvanized steel flashing that you can find in the roofing or the gutter section at your hardware store and we're gonna screw that in both the same areas where the hardy backer board is and that way we'll have multiple layers of protection and make me sleep pretty safe at night now we're gonna start laying down the actual stone here's the stuff that I
