An inexpensive way to replace grill grates with expanded metal mesh for almost any grill without a plasma cutter, welding equipment, or a cutting torch. This took me about an hour. You can get the expanded metal mesh from just about any hardware store. You’ll also need an angle grinder with a steel cutting disk. You’ll also need a piece of scrap lumber to cut a slot into to bend the metal.
I don’t know the gage of the expanded metal but it was the thinner option at Home Depot and it was not galvanized.

I stumbled upon this video and, first of all, admire your hands-on practical skills
I am a metal manufacturer in China, I can produce expanded metal mesh, if you mass production, you can consider me, thank you very much
Looks sturdy, what thickness are those grates?
The groove in the wood was a great idea.
I have that same grill. Except my firebox was toasted. Needed to use some high heat epoxy to patch the holes.
........There is the answer, since I'm certainly not paying $100 for replacement grills. Which is straight up robbery.
Nice idea!
PERFECT
Im in the same predicament! Good working grill with no grate!! Ima gonna try this oit!!
Is it safe to have the food touching the metal directly?
is this stainless steel or ? what is the gauge of the steel?
