Where to buy zinc-less hardware (nuts, washers and bolts)

So I'm wanting to make a poor man's 2 tier rack using the nifty setup some of you have shown on here placing several bolts through the grid to prop another grid on top. I can't find zinc-less hardware anywhere I've looked (Home Depot, Lowes, Menards). Anyone know where I can find some?
p.s. Please don't turn this into a debate on whether it's safe or not safe to use zinc coated hardware inside the grill

Any of your listed stores should have stainless steel hardware which I think is the only solution to your requirement.Hood Stars, Wrist Crowns and Obsession Dobs!

All three should have what you are looking for. They usually put up the most common sellers on the displays. They do have drawers with speciality items. Ask an employee and they should be able to find what you are looking for. You can always try ACE hardware. I am sometimes surprised how much they stuff into their stores.Southeast Florida - LBGE
In cooking, often we implement steps for which we have no explanations other than ‘that’s what everybody else does’ or ‘that’s what I have been told.’ Dare to think for yourself. -

Home Depot, Lowe's, Ace Hardware, Manards, etc. SS hardware should be available at most hardware stores. Or marine like @td66snrf suggestedLBGE 2013 & MM 2014Die Hard HUSKER & BRONCO FANFlying Low & Slow in "Da Burg" FL

I did build my raised grill w. stainless bolts, etc. from a True Value shop. But in an ensuing discussion, fishlessman, who runs a welding shop, said that the zinc cladding was a very minimal risk.
While zinc vapor is dangerous, the hazard from metal work is very small. Get stainless if you can find it, easier to clean, but zinc clad can be used.

Marine hardware stores carry them. If no store nearby go online.Judy in San Diego

What @henapple said. My local HD doesn't carry a lot of ss nuts /bolts / washers. Lowes carries more in those cabinets where the other nuts and bolts are. I've seen them at Ace too, but they were more expensive.#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX.

Well I just got back from Ace Hardware with some SS hardware. Thanks.I guess the TV ads never lie. "Ace is the place"

If you cannot find anything locally, McMaster-Carr carries just about anything you might need. Excellent service from them over the years.
