What is ferrous piping?
Ferrous piping refers to piping made from iron or steel, which are both ferrous metals. These types of piping are commonly used in industrial and commercial applications due to their strength and durability. However, they are susceptible to corrosion, so appropriate protective measures such as coatings or cathodic protection may be necessary.
Is it better to use galvanized or black iron pipe when piping LP gas in a outside application?
Galvanized for water, black for gas. You can always paint the black if you are worried about it rusting. That would depend on local codes as many do not allow the use of galvanized and other codes state "where moisture is present galvanizing coating shall be applied. There is no one code that fits all as some codes follow OSHA guide lines when it comes to color coding of piping so painting black is NOT always an option

Renewable energy is not so commercialized because it is too expensive.

Is it safe to use galvanized steel in a barbecue pit?
It is generally safe to use galvanized steel in a barbecue pit as long as the galvanized coating is intact and not damaged. However, when heated to high temperatures, galvanized steel can release fumes that are toxic if inhaled, so it's best to avoid direct contact with flames or high heat sources. If you're unsure, consider using stainless steel which is a safer alternative for cooking applications.
