37$ seems like a great price if they are doing the finishing.
My local shop charges for the steel, and then hourly for plasma cutting and grinding. I've always just bought the rough size and then done the cutting and grinding myself.

I tried to get a grate fabricated for my fire-pit a few years back. The first 3-4 places I went to wouldn't touch it, not worth their time. I ended up finding a retired welder and he did if for me at a very reasonable cost. You got to look around.Ellijay GA with a Medium & MiniMax

The steel yard where I bought mine has a "Bargain Barn" where they sell surplus and cutoffs for $1/lb. Stainless is $5/lb. Logan Steel in Meriden CT if anyone is interested. You might also try a scrap metal dealer (some only buy scrap, but other places also sell it).
I bought a 1/4"x14"x16" piece for $12 or so. Two minutes with a file and the edges were fine. Had every intention of cutting it to fit my large, but never did. Don't know what they would have charged, didn't ask. And anyway, I'm back to doing pizza in my oven so I just keep it there now. Unless I need a flat top. Then, it goes on the old kettle. Perfect fit there...
I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

@RRP I may be able to help you out. I probably have some 3/8" A36 plate on hand that I could plasma cut into a 14" round for you and smooth the edges with a buffer.
Does anything else need to be done to it? This would just be raw A36 plate from the mill that we use for steel fabricating.Louisville, GA - 2 Large BGE's -

BTW I have also received interest in a rectangular piece 14 X 16 A36 3/8" with smooth edges and the corners would not be square but would have minimal rounding. The quote was:
1 @ 39.96
2 @ 30.31
5 @ 25.52
10 @ 22.59
The approx weight is 24 pounds for the rectangular and 20 pounds for the round one.Re-gasketing America one yard at a time. -
@RRP Just a thought, most A36 steel is hot rolled steel. Hot rolled steel has scale that I would want to remove if it were me. Thinking sandblasting it prior to use would be a good idea if you have access to one.
Cold rolled steel (1018, 1020) does not have scale but would be harder to find a fab shop that has cold rolled.

You may need to soak them in vinegar for a day or two to remove the mill scale. Recall peeps doing that on the pizzamakingforum. Much easier than sanding.

wouldn't 1/4" work just as well? would save you some weight. i'd bet that 3/8" would be close to 20-25#

Honestly, 1/4" might be good enough, your right.Thank you,DarianGalveston Texas -
A 14" diameter plate 3/8" thick is more like 16.5lbs.

Not sure why thickness enters into it anyway. Cast iron pans, griddles....
None of em that thick[social media disclaimer: irony and sarcasm may be used in some or all of user's posts; emoticon usage is intended to indicate moderately jocular social interaction; the comments toward users, their usernames, and the real people (living or dead) that they refer to are not intended to be adversarial in nature; those replying to this user are entering into a tacit agreement that they are real-life or social-media acquaintances and/or have agreed to or tacitly agreed to perpetrate occasional good-natured ribbing between and among themselves and others] -

Ron's first post: "I called 7 local steel fabricators to get a quote for a 14" round 3/8" thick A36 steel disc with smooth edges." Weight equals ~ 16.5 pounds
Ron's sixth post: "BTW I have also received interest in a rectangular piece 14 X 16 A36 3/8" with smooth edges and the corners would not be square but would have minimal rounding." Weight equals ~ 23.8 pounds
