OK, my grill isn't made of chicken mesh either. It's made of diamond cut sheet metal or whatever, the stuff anyone can get at Home Depot. Powder coated? No. Painted, yes! And , indeed, it does stand up to the elements and rocks and such. Why would I compare prices? I know they are all charging way too much. I bet you make a 90% profit on those. Good for you. Bad for the suckers who buy into it. For those who aren't interested in making their own, then they deserve to pay rediculous prices, cause the grilles are rediculously easy to make. Thats just my opinion though. Good luck in your business venture.
