304l is much cheaper ( by $400) than 20 ft of 316 l.
Is it OK to go with 304L. I'm in CT.

Thank you.

If it will only be used for wood 304 is perfectly fine.

Bholler, thank you. In your opinion , is this option better than "smoth wall .13" and all kinds of "flex .6 that all over the internet?

This is smooth wall as well and is much more durable than the 2 ply crap. Lightwall .006 stuff is ok but it won't last as long
