Steel because good conductors are made of metal and steel is metal.

Steel is the better conductor of heat compared to wood, as metals like steel allow heat to pass through them quickly due to their structure. In contrast, wood is an insulator, transferring heat much more slowly. This difference in thermal conductivity is essential in applications such as cooking and construction.
