Can you still buy Sims stoves? I can't seem to find them.
I can see your point about galvanized coating but nearly all stove pipes are galvanized and once you burn it the coating seems to become part of the metal.
All my stove pipe was plain steel. It isn't the stove pipe, it would be the body of the stove with fire hot enough to melt the galvanized although I doubt that it would. Probably not too much of worry though. I know I had my Sims hit enough to be cherry red on a fe occasions. I breathed enough nasty stuff working underground and have bad lungs because of it so I am kind of a pussy in that regards.
