Ideally some sort of stainless

Mild steel will melt up with heat and caked on food

You can also use flat expanded steel. Either carbon or stainless will work well.

is using non stainless you need to use often to avoid rust,
if left with crud on, the crud corrodes if not used often.

For carbon steels, clean the grates with a wire brush, then soap and water. After it dries, apply food-grade mineral oil (paraffin oil) with a rag or a paint brush. Mineral oil won't become gummy over time the way that vegetable oil will.

Food-grade mineral oil is available at most pharmacies as a laxative.

The stainless steel grates should be treated the same way but expanded stainless steel doesn't corrode in a few days the way that carbon steel does.
