Hey folks

Im currently designing a grow cabinet. I read on another post awhile ago that ones made of wood tend to dry out which could lead to a fire hazard?

I was just wondering if this is true and whether I should just use a metal cabinet.

thanks

I used MDF and I love it. 2 x 2 frame construction with a hinged door and holes for ventilation and wiring. I love it.

It's actually pretty hard to start a fire with wood, am I wrong? I mean, you wouldn't be able to start a bonfire just by lighting a log on fire and setting it on some other wood. It shouldn't be hot enough in your grow area to start a fire, most types of wood ignite at between 190-260 degrees.
