Just an FYI to folks as I didn't know this and I know we use a lot of this rigid foam insulation when we make our brew-crap.
Apparently its highly flammable and releases cyanide when it burns. eek!
The backstory if interested:
I just had an awesome insulation company blow some cellulose into my 50's home with NO insulation previously.
In chatting with this gal who ran this company since the 70's and really knew her **** she told me that foam-board insulation (which I just used to build my fermkeezer) is highly flammable and you have to be really careful using it around electric or other heat sources.
Some of the stuff (luckily most of what I got) has a foil cover on the outside, which helps mitigate the flammability, but just something we should all be aware of.
