That certainly should help keep the winter salt off so they don't rust before they can be sold!

Yah, I took delivery of one in mid winter, was a decent day so washed it twice, then let it dry, then took a rag sprayed in WD-40 and wiped all the screw heads. Salt and galvanized do weird things sometimes.

It doesn't help the 409 stainless portions either, I always washed mine as soon as possible after unloading, even in the summer!

Yah, I must of got some real good stuff at one time. I bought 5 foot of 409 stainless flex exhaust pipe from JC Whitney about ten years ago and installed it on a straight truck as the help kept letting it hop trying to get it rolling with a heavy load, got tired of replacing exhaust mount brackets and donuts on the manifolds. Stuff has been on their this long and shows no signs of letting loose yet. Also had to chain the engine down as they kept tearing motor mounts. Not just anybody can handle a kevlar clutch disc I guess.

I'm sure that just like anything, there are many grades of stainless and I know that nobody in the mills guarantees the lack of imperfections in today's steel.

I was wondering about that the other day, you watch How It’s Made or other shows along those lines (I can watch How It’s Made for hours btw) and you see them making steel, new stuff then adding scrap, I know impurities are supposed to be burnt out during the process. I was hauling scrap the other day and there ain’t no way they can actually know what goes in the furnaces far as junk. I hauled in some wheels off an old cultimulcher I cut up. The wheels are ductile, the bearing frames are cast, ductile is worth more than cast, the guys at the scrap yard told me to bury the cast under the ductile so I could get more for the load, you know as well as I there is no way somebody is gonna sort thru a truckload of random pieces to separate ductile from cast.

So out of curiosity, are they strapping each stove down or since its a dedicated trailer, are they bolting them down in tracks of some sort?

They are strapped down.

Yes, they had already taken the straps off in that picture. Had a couple G4's on there, kinda forgot how heavy they were.
A lot of GS units on this one. They're taking off fast. A lot of bang for the buck.

Yah, and I don’t know what it is about the Gs series, but I heard it over the four day labor day festival we did, I heard it Saturday at the local festival we did, but people think the Gs is “cute”. My wife has said it numerous times, I let her talk to the folks that start out with “it's cute".
