If chrome plated you may use them in your UDS, some grill companies use chrome-plated grates.

galvelnized metal has a coating that when heated gives off a gas that will make you sick, headache, etc., I am not sure about BBQ temps but it does when cut or welded. It also is a poor metal to make things out off because it does not hold welds good because of the contamination from the coating, it was designed to prevent rust for specific applications, power towers, radio towers, etc.
