I'm disappointed. I see lots of questions but few answers. I was particularly interested in knowing if galvanization on metal was a health hazard such as the question of whether a galvanized wire mesh could be used as a grill on the barbecue?

As per code requirements, I am installing a heat shield on combustible walls and ceiling around my woodstove. They recommend sheet metal. I have several 4' X 8' sheets of good heavy galvanized sheet metal I would like to use. I expect temps. somewhere around 300 / 350 degrees max. or lower. Is there any fuming I should be concerned with?

I have a galvanized chimney that goes from my gas furnace to my chimney and out in the attic.
Sometimes rain comes down the chimney and shows a white powder on the galvanized in the attic area. I think this is corrosion. I was told it is not and would never corrode through. Is this true, or should I be concerned. Thank you,
Charlie

I used a galvanized garbage can to season my Dutch Oven. I got the internal temp. up to 400 degrees F. Someone mentioned that I might have gotten fumes from the zinc in the oven. From my understanding, zinc will not turn to gas until it gets to over 900 degrees C. My question is: Is seasoning my Dutch oven this way safe? Also, is it safe to cook a turkey in a galvanized garbage can?

anon16792 - Galvanize is just a coating. So the strength goes to the steel, not the _galvanized_ steel. There are different strengths: tensile, yield, compression, shear. Strength depends on whether the steel is hardened, annealed... When you talk about strength you have to specify all those elements, plus the material itself, if it is carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel....
