Are these 304 or 316 stainless?

I think they are 304. The 316 are way more expensive. These work fine. no rust.

Rodrigo, Bayou says they are 304, I now own 2 of these, one mash tun one boil kettle for my brew sculpture. I will be getting a 3rd for hot loquor tank. The quality is not that of a blichman but also half the cost. You will not be disappointed.

They are stainless steel. My only regret is they don't fit my Kenmore BBQ as well as when I first put them in. They seemed fine at first but when they got hot they bowed upward. The Diffusers hit the grill so I have to be careful nothing flames up or burns. I was not aware of any warranty. I have learned how to use them the way they are.

They are stainless steel. They are a little deeper than my old poacher and are really nice.

I'm sure they're 316ss they go in the dishwasher and come out with no rust like you could get with 304ss- I work with stainless steel and would be considered an expert in the field.

All of ours are 304 grade stainless because that is the only metal we allow the water or steam to touch. Heating elements especially in the countertop models vary widely amongst the different distillers out there. Because we are the only ones specifically designed not to boil dry, ours is going to give you a higher purity. Some use an outside heater and use a weight scale to determine when the tank is empty but scale buildup can have negative effects with this

...by the price, obviously not here; think east...far east. I just purchased 304 stainless straws on Etsy from MulledMind. 304 is commonly used in food grade.

No, they are not stainless steel - they are plated. Be sure to dry thoroughly because the plating has oxidized and started to come off on my set.

Hi Dave, Good question. It's Stainless steel. In fact, it's 304 stainless steel. Here is a quick read about 304 Stainless: Grade 304 is the standard "18/8" stainless; it is the most versatile and most widely used stainless steel, available in a wider range of products, forms and finishes than any other. It has excellent forming and welding characteristics. The balanced austenitic structure of Grade 304 enables it to be severely deep drawn without intermediate annealing, which has made this grade dominant in the manufacture of drawn stainless parts such as sinks, hollow-ware and saucepans. I hope that answers your question. Thanks! Michael Weir Kitchen-Classics

they are aluminum. As much as I like them, they would be perfect if stainless....

I'm not positive, but upon examining them, they seem like they're stainless. They are holding up well under use.

I assumed they were stainless steel, but I'm no expert in metals. It could be aluminum. Sorry I couldn't be of more help!

They are not stainless, they are painted black. I don't think it will be easy to find stainless replacements.

This is 304 = 18/8 stainless steel it is good for storage. The highest grade is 18/10 which is better for cooking. I found some 18/10 in the camping section that can be used for both storage and cooking.
