Yes, just make sure you use high temp paint. I did that very thing for some of my pipe. Oh, be aware that you will probably get some fumes during the first burn. They aren't bad - just don't let them make you nervous. Also, don't forget to get black self-sealing silicone tape to seal up the joints.

Lacquer and Thinners is also part of my shop supplies it is used every day in my spray shop
was just pointing out that a person that would normally not have said product

and how often would they use it on other projects

Vinegar should be used on any galvanized pipe because it will etch the galvanizing and let the paint stick better. A lot of pellet or multi fuelr pipe is doubled walled and has stainless on the inner pipe and galvanized on the outside pipe.
