because this furnace is meant to hang by chains and will likely tend
to move a little from wind when I open the door.

Chains? Are you sure it is not supposed to be threaded rod on hangers?
Seems to me either way you'd want it solid, not dangling.

I'd use copper or black pipe for piping.

I've seen them hung by chains, but they were usually a long distance from
the ceiling. I think strong chains might have an advantage over threaded rod
that are more than 6 ft. long. I saw a threaded rod broken once. The only
thing holding the unit was the other threaded rod and the rigid black pipe.
