The GERMNAN grill is fragile. It's made of brittle plastic. The RSA
grill is made of thin plastic, but is very flexible... technically
you'd have to call it flimsy, but it's not junk... you might be able
to twist the ends 180� relative to one another. Probably polyethylene
or polypropylene. It certainly won't break, even when a rock hits
it... unlike the styrtene German grill.
