Thick.

Sorry, that might come across a bit harsh. But anything that is not gold plated
expensive really will all perform similarly. Thicker is better.

Now if you can swing it 316 stainless will last longer. 302/303/304 only slightly
better than mild steel.

Inconel would be the best but yeah you ain't gonna buy that shit.

Unlike wimmen, thicker is better, but I would try to go with 1/4".

The question is this for daily use or occasional hey the wife wants a nice cozy atmosphere 2-4 time a winter...

Can you find some Corten ?
My thought is, that most of the time, it's at room temp, and all oils/paint have been burned off, so that's when the rusting happens.
