You might consider using a product universally referred to as "expanded metal grating or metal matt." This is an extremely heavy extruded grating material that works very well in fiery environments. I have made a couple of grates for wood stoves out of this stuff and they have lasted for years. Try an industrial supply or steel yard for sourcing this stuff.

I bought one a few years back and thought something was wrong but when we read the instructions there was no mention of them. On Fathers day in 07 my son and I bought the big 4 burner model and it doesn't have rocks either. As for whether making something will be dangerous or not I couldn't say for sure. But the rack you make will be under the rocks so it should be alright. But that's out of my area too. ----- Original Message ----- From: Wayne W Hinckley To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, September 26, 2008 8:05 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Propane Grill and Galvanized Rack Last year my daughter bought a propane grill at the end of the season. It has not been used yet. When I looked it over the other day I found that it is missing the lower rack that holds the lava rocks. Perhaps we lost it, or perhaps it was never in the original box. It is too late for returns or complaints. I am wondering if I were to fashion a rack out of galvanized hardware cloth, would there be a problem with the galvanized material getting hot and causing a health problem with the food being cooked. The food would not be in direct contact with the galvanized material, but would the galvanized material give off harmful fumes? Any other suggestions are welcomed.
