I have a wood furnace that requires a custom type grate. After many years the old one simply wore away. Since I am having trouble finding a distributor (even after talking to the manufacturer). I am thinking about making my own grate. The grate is simply a 24" rod with about 18 fingers running perpindicular to this rod. So the question is what type of steel would handle the temperature and oxidization effects from a wood fire, and can this steel be welded? A suggestion has been to use a s10 steel, are there any other options. any suggestions would be welcomed
