Looking for Grill Grate for my backyard grill

[mustafghan]

I have an odd (triangle) shaped grill that was built from stone and brick in my backyard (see the picture). I'm looking for suggestions on how I can best utilize it in terms of putting the charcoal and most importantly how I can get a grill grate that shape?

Thanks

I would suggest a custom grate from steel angle and expanded metal. Should be pretty easy to fab yourself or have a local fab shop construct it. I wouldn't think it could cost too much...

Maybe you can get a piece of expanded sheet, and then cut to size?

Would you guys recommend carbon or stainless steel? I'm looking for longevity and ability to clean easily. Also, what should be percent opening am I looking for? Is 79 percent opening too big for let's say burgers, hot dogs and kabobs?

Thanks for the help.

You can buy expanded metal at Lowes or Home depot . They have 3rd and half sheets . Get the angle there too .

I would just go with carbon steel. Season it with canola oil before you cook first time, should be fine. It will season itself as you cook more over time... The smaller the openings of the grate, the sturdier the grate will be.

Stainless steel would last the best and clean up good. Nice heavy gauge, 16 or more, 10 would be good. You will probably need a fabricator to make it though at that gauge. Opening I can't hel[ you on, look around online and in stores for ideas. Good luck.
