I found it much easier to build a square one and they work better , more air flow.

I rolled mine using a old propane tank. I wore leather gloves. Expanded metal is like a razor when cut. I cut myself when welding the basket pretty good on it.

I formed mine around the grate as I tacked it together 1" at a time. IIRC took about 30 min
