    430 Stainless Steel industrial grade heavy duty construction

    this is what manufacturers say

    i read somewhere else that Apparently 300 grade is better than 400. as It is more rust resistant.

    confused:confused: can anyone clarify

    this link has a good amount of info on stainless types.
    what is the material used for?
    316 is rust resistant but no good for knife blades, 440 is suitable for blades but too hard for machining.
    Horses for courses.

    thanks for link

    i was just comparing two different bbqs, one is made out of 430 whilst the other is made out of 300

    the guy with 300 grade made the comment about rust resistance, then again he might be talking thru his hat

    which would you go for based on material used

    Whichever was cheapest ;)
    I would find it hard to believe that any stainless material will rust through on a bbq.
    If you are at all worried, just make sure that the last thing you cook are greasy pork chops, wrap the grill in newspaper don't clean it and put it away until next year or bbq season comes around.
