Thanks all, more pics this Saturday. Zen, I had seen those warnings against galvanized too but I think were OK (or at least I hope so :D ) Zinc fumes are pretty nasty but maximum temperature that it is exposed to in this pit is 250 degrees which should be well under zinc's vapor point. I definitely would not use galvanized metal as a grate above a fire where temps can reach 1500 degrees or more.
