Does this unit have a steel frame or an aluminum frame. The ad says steel in one place and aluminum in another place. Easily determined with a magnet

Definitely a steel frame. Like it so much, I bought one for the house and one to keep in the car.

I truly don't remember. I bought this as an extra one that we keep at my daughters who lives in another state. I would not recommend it. If it is aluminum, it is VERY heavy and awkward to use. The seat area is very small, and the plastic tray is a joke. It is not easily transportable mainly because of its weight....

I tend to disagree. I bought a so-called SS pot and a magnet had no interest in it. The gauge/thickness matters not. If it's based on iron (which SS is) then a magnet is attracted to it. Me thinks aluminum with chrome finish.

No metal frame. It is fabric sewn around cardboard. Its fairly well done, but, we'll see how long it lasts. Not long with any rough use.

Seems too heavy to me to be aluminum, and too bright and shiny to be a common steel..So I put a magnet against it and it did attract. I'd therefore guess it is a corrosion-resistant or plated steel. I couldn't even drill two holes in the trailer bracket (to match my trailer holes) with my electric drill, it was so hard. But my neighbor, who is is machinist, and probably has a drill press, got it done.

Hi Ben - All parts that come in contact with food, herbs, etc. are steel. The only aluminum are tubes covering steel side supports, more for decoration - no contact with food. For the money this is an excellent unit for home use.

I'm not sure whether aluminum or steel, but it is fairly sturdy. It stood up to very strong winds.

This screen WILL mount to a metal frame. Use the included Velcro mounting stips to attach to metal frame. NO magnets needed to attach to metal frame.

It has a steel bottom. I have the 12 inch pan, I love it nothing sticks. It's large enough to feed a large group and I can also use it on my Nu-wave cook top. I also tried the magnet trick. so it can't be aluminum. For the size it is really light weight and easy to handle.

Steel. I checked with a magnet - VERY strong attraction, therefore it is definitely not aluminum. (Whoever answers aluminum is likely judging by the weight. It's not as heavy as one might expect.)

Frame is very strong. We have never bent one. Frame does not rust or discolor. Have owned many years. I assume frame is some type of aluminum

It doesn't appear to be attracted to magnets, so I'd imagine it's aluminum, but beyond that test I've very little way to determine its composition

Aluminum is not magnetic. I successfully stuck a magnet to the inside and out so it cant be aluminum.

Aluminum frame. Light weight, but don't know actual weight. We push our 20 pound dog in it with no trouble.

Aluminum. Had one for work and purchased one personally. I really like the unit.

It is not magnetic so it is not steel. I assume it is aluminum. Heavy and very good cookie sheet.

It's made of painted steel sheet metal. All the answers that said it is aluminum are incorrect as a magnet has no problem sticking to any part of this shed.

There's no aluminum in ours. The element is probably high carbon stainless, because a magnet will attract it but less so than the other parts such as the pan, the brackets on the heating element, etc. So it is all steel of some sort or another. (The parts that contact the food, that is.)
