Compared to copper and aluminum, SST is terrible at conducting heat.
That's why it's never used for grill surfaces and the best cookware
always has it laminated with aluminum or copper to spread the heat more
evenly.

I am considering using 6mm stainless steel as a BBQ plate. I have heard that
you can't use stainless steel for cooking food on a BBQ as SS is full of
nasties.
Can anyone confirm this?
