Tom,
No plasma, cnc, or waterjet here at Bell Industries, we have to sub contract that work. We do have great cnc and waterjet companies close by.
I like the SA grill mainly for the " attaches to spare tire" feature. Imagine it with Syncro cut into one of the sections. Would be cool eh?
That drum type burner you linked to makes me think of strikes and picket lines, someone that Felder Industries must be familiar with :)
My firepit grill is a rectangular affair, welded wire with folding legs. It has survived hard use for years so maybe I should take heed and stick with wire type grill as opposed to sheet stock. But the idea of having the grill on the spare tire is so tempting.
