Default Burying black iron pipe

How so? A buried black-iron pipe will last 30 years - an outside grill
will be luck to last 30 months. We ran an iron pipe, under salt water, to
a gas light at the end of a pier. That was over twenty years ago. The lamp
is still on. Of course the pipe is covered with barnacles, so that might
protect it some. Still...


It has been shown here and is common knowledge that black pipe CAN rust out
in just a few years. and if the grill only last 30 months, then something's
wrong.


How so? Burying the pipe is purely cosmetic - you could run it over the
grass and it wouldn't matter.



Won't meet code.
