Thumbs up Question About sheet metal

Hi, im new around here and to PC'in and am attempting to build an oven out of an old refrigerator/freezer unit. I have it stripped out and am currently installing the sheet rock beams. I was planning on using 2 3000watt oven elements, and R13 or R15 insulation from home depot. If anyone has any comments or concerns about anything said so far please feel free to chime in.

My question is what kind of sheet metal do i use. Stainless steel sheet metal is crazy expensive and ive also been told galvanized is poisons once heated. Im having a hard time locating a local supply around my area so i resorted to online dealer. I found one that sells Cold Roll Mild Steel Sheet A366/1008 20ga and 16ga at a good price. They however will not give me any help on whether this will work or not. So I figured I would ask since you guys seem to know a lot about this type of stuff. So will this work or do I need something and where can I look to find it.

Any info is appreciated

Thanks,
Keith
