16 ga - Wow. A lot of sheet metal shops don't have equipment strong enough to deal with 16 gauge.
The fenders on my sister's 55 Austin were 16 ga. She cut the entire front end, from the firewall forward - including the engine - off a 68 Lincoln driven by a drunk that was cutting across a parkway in front of her. The Austin got a dented fender and a broken head light. Thereafter we referred to it as, "Mary's tank".
Yeah, that stove barrel should hold up fine.

The ideal barrel gauge is the thinnest required to do the job as this allows the greatest rate of heat transfer out of the stove. It’s why Antique barrels are thin with beads
Warm mornings etc etc have no beads because it was less expensive to manufacture, easier to gain UL approval. Plus it’s less susceptible to operator error and associated legal liability.
Isn’t the modern era wonderful?

I was thinking plate steel rolled into a cylinder and welded along a seem from end-to-end. I was thinking 2 ribs in the middle of a cylinder and/or two "lips" on the ends. Just a different lingo.
