Material for small hole screen/grate

[TonyLee]

I'd like to make a simple small bore screen to lay on top of my existing coal shelf (grill and chimney) when I use lump charcoal that has small pieces. Any suggestions for a source material for this screen that can tolerate the heat?

Thanks.

You could get some expanded metal similar to this.

yep, thats about it. big stores is kind of expensive. look for a metal shop as they have scraps that they sell cheap.

or use two grates and criss cross them
