Only other item would be either a stainless or copper top for the

A metal top would not be very good for cutting on. Butcher blocks are
wood, as are kitchen cutting boards, and don't suffer problems from it.

You don't cut a lot of meat there. It is usually just used as a spot to
set the trays while you load/unload the cooker. the problem is that
blood/meat juice gets in the wood and unless you clean it right then you
end up with a possible contamination source. It's one of the reasons why
commercial kitchens have dropped wood cutting boards and tables. Just
far to easy to have a problem.
