Why 316 Stainless Steel is better for outdoor gas burners.
The main difference between 316 stainless steel and 304 stainless steel is molybdenum. Molybdenum makes up 2% of the composition of 316 stainless steel, which makes it extremely corrosion resistant. This is why 316 stainless steel is also referred to as marine-grade stainless steel, as the molybdenum keeps it from corroding in saltwater.
Molybdenum in 316 stainless steel makes a huge difference in durability and reliability when exposed to the elements, which is why you should use 316 stainless steel when considering materials for your next outdoor fire feature.

This is why builders of historic landmarks like the Chicago Bean trust 316 stainless steel to resist corrosion and maintain its shine and strength.
