Look at Wampus's material. Not a quality stainless. It has alot of rust he did not remove, quality stainless will not rust, no carbon. But what do I know.
Don't take this personally bro. We just disagree is all.
I'm no expert on materials or what's quality or not quality stainless steel.
I will say that the chimney starter I built about 3 years ago has been sitting outside with my other chimney starter since the day it was created and to this day it's never rusted a bit. I don't see what you're calling rust in the photos I posted really either.
Now, the expanded metal at the bottom of the chimney is NOT stainless and it does have some surface rust on it.
I will defer to your apparently more complete knowledge of metals and materials than mine. I got the thing from a buddy who got it from where he works (at a large pharmaceutical company in Indy) and it was used to carry purified water in and was stainless steel. No idea if it's high quality or not. I do know that it hasn't rusted. All I know is I got both it and my SS drum from the same buddy and we cut a chit ton of holes in both with a step bit or unibit.
