Building oven galvanized or cold rolled steel

[getastro]

Hello all, I am getting back in to powder coating and a in the design part of my oven. I called around to find prices on sheet metal. I need 6 sheets and can buy 4x10x22ga galvanized for $360 or cold roll 24ga for $194. Just wanted to see the thoughts of which way to go from the oven buliders out there. Thanks

$60 a sheet for the galvanized sounds a little high to me. Have you checked all the local sources. I was recently quoted $30 for 24 gauge gal.

The obvious problem with hot or cold rolled steel is that it will eventually rust.

That is the cheapest around a 50 miles radius. Have prices from $60 to $85 a sheet. That why I am thinking rolled steel

I paid $37.00 a sheet for 20guage galvenized and $18.00 a sheet for 26 gauge galvenized

Wow, that's the prices I am looking for. To bad I don't live in your area... I think that I am going with the galvanized seeing that I live near a beach. Just need cash now...Thanks folks

go with galvanized ... the rust will kick your butt if you use cold rolled

Could you possibly let me know where you found it for 37 dollars a sheet? I plan on building an oven soon and also live in the KC area.

Thanks

i paid 39$ per sheet for 48"x 74" sheets of 22 galvanized

the one thing i dont understand is.... they say galvanized is only good to 450-500 degrees. So technically it will flake off and rust anyways? is it really worth the investment?

i did it anyway but i wonder
