Make sure ya reinforce it good, I had a 4 ft piece I bought from Everett Steel and after about a year, it had a nice bow in the middle from the heat.
I used it almost daily however.
But cooking on the open fire was hard to beat.
I even bought a few smaller pieces and cut em to fit my gas BBQ, I like the diamond grill marks on the burgers and steaks, it looks good! that is all that counts.....right cool

J/K Have fun!
