I talked to the ss distributor/fabricator today about some hardware and the expanded. They didn't have any expanded scrap that was big enough for my firebox and the cheapest they could go for a half sheet was $95. (4x5 sheet) so I passed on it for now. I ordered some 5/16 U's but will probably cancel them. The 1/4's I picked up at Lowes will probably be fine. They are going to get me some 1 1/4 ss nipples, elbow and pipe for the vents and such so that should be good.
