The bars are available at Home Depot and come in various lengths. Look great, durable, and much cheaper.

A little time with some aluminum or copper tubing and you could make your own [img]smile.gif[/img]

i just went to home depot and saw the bars... they only have bare bars that need to be bent. then there is the question of how to secure these bent bars to make a solid grill.
i really wish i could just get one of the parts express ones locally...
thanks for the comments guys.

anyone else?

I have an enclosure out in the garage with a 'multibar' grille arrangement. The bars literally just push into holes drilled into the face of the box. [img]smile.gif[/img]

what about copper pipe, (not the flexible stuff) and fittings? you would solder them together just like when plumbing your house [img]smile.gif[/img] then you could paint them silver if you'd like.

Ok, I'll give out a secret. Go to IKEA in the kitchen hardware area. Look for the long metal handles. Hell of a lot cheaper then Home Depot and in some nice lengths too.

Tom,
i actually went to the kitchen are at Home depot and found one nice handle... at $28!! i would need at least two.. too much $!

i will give Ikea and check out the local JL dealer ... maybe something will fit just right...
