No prob. It started out as me just asking about the food grates, but then I thought about the firebox as the conversation turned more "toxic" LOL!!

since you switched horse in the middle of the stream, so to speak, and folks were concerned about your health and your friends and families health, no ill will was intended by the good folks here at SmokingMeatForums....
Just goes to show, One Thread per topic.... if you don't follow those guidelines, things get confusing..... especially, if one is not clear, as to the definition of grate.... cooking food grate or charcoal basket grate....

I have used a couple of different shopping carts before and one of them warped when I started to burn the paint off of it, the other I have used I extreme heat and never had a problem, I would say just be sure of the type of steel it's made of before you cook directly on it.
