OK so building an offset with two 20" x 30" doors....anyone got a suggestion on what the best
1/2 inch #13 expanded flattened steel (52% open space)
1/2 inch #16 expanded flattened steel (63% open space)
3/4 inch #9 expanded flattened steel (63% open space)
My hunch is that the 3/4 inch #9 is the way to go but I am a mere neophyte when it comes to steel........
UPDATE: GOT THE 3/4 inch #9 "Flat" from Industrial Metal supply for $57 for a 4x8 sheet 8)
Thanks,
Daryl

You are correct 3/4 9
-
That stuff takes heat like crazy! Never looks like its havin' a problem.
-
3/4 inch #9 is best and price is not all that bad about $56 for a 4x8 sheet at Industrial Metal Supply. If your grates are too large it will require some bracing to keep the grate from flexing too much.

# 9 expanded metal is a good choice. What would be recomened for max length width and length of the expanded metal and the size and type of the grate?
