Our grills are designed in the USA and manufactured overseas where costs are lower so we can pass on the savings to you. After considering various stainless-steel options, we decided to craft them from durable, commercial heavy gauge 304 stainless steel, which boasts over 10.5% chromium for superior corrosion resistance, ensuring they are rust-resistant and built to last. Unlike less durable options like 430, which lacks water resistance, or the cost-effective but rust-prone 201 and 202, our choice of material stands for quality and longevity.
