Grill Netting Description
Datetime:2014-06-24 Hits:
Barbecue grill wire netting, or grill netting for short, is an inexpensive alternative to standard grills for cooking food. This type of grill comes in variety of sizes and is made of durable materials such as steel and aluminum. Barbecue grill wire netting is also useful for backpacking and camping trips because it weighs less than standard grills. Grill nets are available for U.S. buyers to purchase on Internet sites or at outdoors-themed retail stores.
Physical Description
Barbecue grill wire netting is usually circular or square-shaped. Retailers sell barbecue grill wire netting in various sizes. The largest circular models have a diameter of 11 inches, while the largest square-shaped netting's dimensions are 11 inches wide by 11 inches long. The grill netting's size must be large enough to cover the entire barbecue grill. Stainless steel and galvanized iron wire are the primary materials for making barbecue grill wire netting. Most grill nets have zinc-coated or chromium plated finishes on their wires.
Crimped Wire Mesh
Crimped wire mesh is the origin of barbecue grill wire netting. A crimped wire mesh is made of aluminum, carbon steel, nickel-based alloy or stainless steel wires that crimp to form a netting. The term “crimped” refers to the formation of the wire's ridges, which allow the wires to connect to one another. Crimped wire mesh is primarily for industrial purposes such as creating fences, grills and safety nets. The wire's diameter, percentage of open area -- or the space between the wires -- and weight per square foot are the factors for determining a crimped wire mesh's cost.
Purpose
Camping is an ideal time for using grill nets to cover your barbecue grills. The wires on some barbecue grill wire nets have a smaller diameters than standard grills, making them lighter to carry while backpacking. Barbecue grill wire nets are also useful for military members in case they are forced to cook a meal and make camp away from their base. Grill nets are useful when constructing homemade barbecue pits, according to Mississippi State University's Department of Poultry Science.
Prices
The cost variances of barbecue grill wire netting is similar to crimped wire mesh such as the wire's diameter, percentage of open area and weight per square foot. The unit's color and the brightness of the wire's finish are other factors that determines a grill net's price. According to EVCC, a China-based online marketplace, the cost for a barbecue grill wire net is $3 to $30 per unit at the time of publication.
