Bob, great idea. I never thought to check the Home Depot or Lowe's. I will have to change my plans today and check it out. One other good source is Sub Zeros Refrigerators. The commercial units have glass doors. The trim on the some of the older sub zero's 48 inches and the insulation works great. It does take a little work to strip. But well worth it. I used old bed frames.( The angle Iron used to mount it to the roof) And old siding from Mobile Homes to trim the base. I'll post a picture soon. It's a diamond in the rough. But it works great. It's home made. I don't make my systems pretty. Just functional.

This is made from old refrigerator insulation and the skins of the old refrigerators. And the glass from a very old commercial cooler
The Alumium trim is from 2 old sub zeros
The inside is old A/C cores painted black with a silver backing.
I was working with fresnel lens. It would superheat the box. So as you could see from the Pictures. I'm experimenting with mist in the enclosure. Hopeing it will produce a lens effect to increase the heat. Will let you know
