Have you all noticed the banner ad for Fire Magic grills? Looks like some top drawer equipment.
What especially caught my eye is that they are already utilizing an idea I have been mulling over regarding the design of their stainless grates. For better or worse, I guess I am the honorary defender of GrillGrates. We have had many discussions about the issues related to these, the biggest drawback being the aluminum construction.
My affection for GrillGrates is based partly on the reduction of flare-ups but more on the beautiful (at least to me) grill marks they make. The main reason for this, I believe, is that the top part of GrillGrates are flat allowing them to make sharp, distinct marks compared to those made by round stainless bars, regardless of how thick.
I am certainly not married to aluminum at all - far from it - so I had been thinking about contacting Dave Santana “rcplanebuyer” to see if there was a way to make stainless grates with FLAT metal. Well, apparently there is, because that is exactly what Fire Magic is doing:
Check out their banner ad and website and see what you think. When things get less rough here at home, I hope to follow up with Dave to see what he could do. Maybe there is a way to get the results of GrillGrates with the safety and longevity of stainless steel. Now THAT would be a marriage made in heaven!
