So in looking for a Mailbox, galvanized is less expensive than AL, that's around $30 more, if you can find one.

I've read all about the Galv + heat thing.

I think the Galv is fine, but asking for YOUR thoughts.

What would YOU buy for YOUR carnivores.

Would you guys just stick w the Galv, or pay the higher cost  for Aluminum?   

Or even Stainless?

Please chime in which one you'd choose to buy, assuming that $ upcharge.                Thank you for your responses, the more the better.     Marc

Non food contact and very low temps = No issues with galvanized...JJ
 
Galv here too as it is not a problem for parts that do not come in contact with food - though Stainless does look better

Galvanized. The rest of the mailbox mod for me is just a straight aluminum vent pipe because it can go into the smoker over the heating elememt and it doesnt corrode. The outside of the galvanized mailbox is painted and seasoned on the inside. So no worries with corrosion.
