Be aware that T-111 is a glued wood product, usually using formaldehyde
based adhesives, and the warmer it gets the more it offgasses.  I'd avoid
putting this stuff inside any structure (or outside either, personally
speaking), especially a heated one.  I know of a sauna that was (due to
simple ignorance of this fact) built with T-111 on the inside...saunas are
supposed to get hot inside...everyone got pretty sick the first time they
tried to use it and they had to tear out the T-111 and put in something more
appropriate (cedar or redwood, for a sauna... ;-)
