[TheForge] Iron in the Fire

[Woolley]

Greetings,

If one were asked to make a griddle plate that was going to lay over an existing burner on a commercial gas stove, what material would you use if you weren't going to cast it. What metal wouldn't burn up? The pieces have to be approx. 10"x24".  A chef asked me to make him something custom for 3" & 4" pans he's using.  I am considering buying commercially available cast grates and welding them together and adding handles to suit his needs.  Any ideas?

Regards,
