Hey Paul,

I had the same question, and I looked and looked a while back, but all I could find are the MSDS on the actual liner material when it is applied in liquid form....not once it is a solid coating.

My initial thought was that this stuff was so tough that it wouldn't be a problem. But I have since started building smokers to sell, and I don't want to endanger anyone else. You could build one, and just burn in it a few times without any food, and see how it holds up. If it makes it through 10 burns with no peeling or color change, I would think it would be good to go.

I have since found unlined re-conditioned barrels near my home for $32, so I just get those. Takes the liner and the cleaning of a barrel out of the equation.
