I've got a gas grill that works fine except the metal heat tent that protects the burners is broken.
Replacement is $66 and not worth it given the condition of the grill:

My thoughts are to make my own somehow and need suggestions. I thought to find something round and then drill long screws into the shell and use those to stand it up.
Thoughts:
1) Baking sheet 14" round. Teflon coated. I'm guessing the coating will burn and cause toxic fumes. $8
2) Use a 14" charcoal grate and then cover with a few layers of foil. This is about $20.
3) Use a weber ash catcher -- my guess - it's not thick enough and not meant for direct heat.
I don't know where I could find a round piece of steel that I could use otherwise.
Let me know your suggestions fellow bbq brethrens!
