Hey all, had a new woodstove install and during the install was told they've been having trouble getting stainless class A in-stock and they used galvanized. Told me they would swap it out when they get stainless in. Long story short, I wasn't happy with the whole procedure and don't really want them back. Anyone paint their exterior Galvanized class A with high temp paint to extend its life? Is it worth it?
