MYOG Campfire Grill

I like it. The mesh is a great idea. Defenitly lighter than regular stainless grill. Maybe some middle supports going down into the coals. How do you think the mesh would hold up over time?

I think the stainless will hold up, but I'm only going on 2 cooks. The aluminum rods were the weak point. The picture showing the sag was night one of a 2 night trip. I just bent the rods back more or less straight and we used it again. I'm going to get some titanium rod and try that. If that doesn't give as much you could put a pot of water on there and not worry about a stove.

I've never eaten sasquatch penis, how does it taste?

"I've never eaten sasquatch penis, how does it taste?"

None of us believe you, Chad. I bet you know EXACTLY what it tastes like.

Craig, my suggestion is that you go with stainless steel rods to support the sides of the grill. Get some .125" diameter rod somewhere, and that should solve your sag problem. I make the Zia titanium grills, and a few people have mentioned that their grills sagged horribly when supporting a heavy load over a very hot fire. I played around with some options to add support along the sides of the grill. While .125" diameter titanium rod helped a lot, it still tended to sag a bit over time. The real winner was .125" stainless steel rod, which hardly sagged at all. It's a bit heavier, but not prohibitively so in your application. The titanium will be more expensive, especially since you would be buying just a few feet of rod. Titanium Joe can sell you whatever amount of titanium rod you want, but the shipping is fairly hefty for small amounts of it. Metals4U.com would be the place to get the stainless steel rod, and their shipping from I think Texas is reasonable.
