HI group,
I have a pellet stove wherein I have repaired the fire grate annually. Attached is a photo link of the grate.

Purchasing a new grate is to be avoided ($100 +). My last repair used heavy nails for the grate elements. Obviously they burn right through. All comments on what type of metal I should be using would be appreciated. Said metal should be easily obtainable. Metal diameter from 3/16" to 1/4" should work well.

Could I cut stainless pieces from refrigeration grates or oven grates?

Thanks,

Ivan Vegvary
