Anyone manufacturing stainless wire charcoal baskets?

I just procured two new wire charcoal baskets, but I'm worried about longevity.  Between the humidity and salt air, unprotected steel doesn't stand much of a chance out here.  I just replaced the Stōk cast iron grate with the stainless steel Weber hinged grate and I have a stainless steel charcoal grate on order.  Searching for stainless charcoal baskets didn't bring up anything useful.  Anyone know a fabricator who can do it?

My original charcoal baskets made it almost 2 years before needing to be replaced (grill was delivered on July 31, 2012).

Get some stainless steel expanded metal and make your own. Where do you live that everything rusts so quick?

Sorry - I thought I had my location listed.  I'm in Virginia Beach, VA and live 250' from the ocean.  I'm not sure if keeping my grill covered is helping or making it worse.

If it breathes, we can cook it!

There is a guy making SS baskets here in Oz.
Contact info?  I can only imagine how expensive it would be to have a pair shipped to the states.

Curt-
Give Michael a call.  He may be able to craft something for you.  They may be kind of pricey but will be high quality and likely to last a very long time.

Awesome - thanks guys!

The 17" High-Que high-heat fire grate arrived yesterday.  Fits perfectly and is very nice.  Unfortunately, they don't have a 21.5" grate available.  I guess I'll have to buy another Weber stainless folding grate for the gas conversion build.
