The wider 15\" × 22\" bowl combined with the included marine-grade lid makes this the go-to choice for serious outdoor entertaining — chill a full case of drinks or use as a fish cleaning station.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eT-316 stainless contains 2–3% molybdenum, which dramatically increases resistance to chlorides, salt air, and acids compared to standard 304-grade steel. If you're installing outdoors near the ocean, on a boat, in an RV, or on a patio exposed to the elements, 316 is the correct choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy 316 vs. 304?\u003c\/strong\u003e Sodium chloride (salt) attacks standard stainless over time through a process called pitting corrosion.
